Basics
- Work by User:Eric and local people / officials to make a (at least basic) makerspace in Fleming Island's Public Library and/or School(s)
- Most likely 1 year or so for hands on (covid vacciene and/or local test confirmed "eradication" ?)
- Goal is to:
- Make a small one
- Build it up over the years
- Either leave it at that (if i move in ~3 years)
- OR use it to move to a dedicated site and/or make one in each local public school
- Also would allow for local dev + education either way
