(WRDW/WAGT) - Augusta’s tiny home community is growing. Lowe’s is helping install two new pod plazas at Bridge Builder’s tiny home community for young adults aging out of foster care.The Lowe’s team, which helped make the project possible through a $100,000 grant, is now volunteering its time to help bring the project to completion. Dr. Jackson Drumgoole, founder and CEO of Bridge Builder Communities, says the vision has been years in the making.Volunteers broke ground to build shared spaces where teens can gather, relax and build community.“We have always said that this is a community built by the community, which has been the most important thing, because, of course, someone comes into town, and they have a ton of money, and they just do it, then the community has no buy-in,” Drumgoole said.Latora Smith, store manager for Lowe’s, said the company’s involvement is tied to supporting the community.“A part of selling stuff is to make sure we take care of the community that’s taking care of us,” Smith said. “And when you look at what the small, tiny homes would do, it’s gonna provide shelter for displaced teens. And that was gonna provide workforce, and you think about financial literacy, they’ll pick up a trade.”Drumgoole said reaching this point has been a journey, made possible by the community building it up one shovel at a time. As the ribbon cutting gets closer, the next goal is already in sight.Once the teens are inside their tiny homes, Drumgoole said it’s the space — and the experiences they build there — that they will be able to take with them.</div></body>
