TThe Rogue River Eco Village Destination Resort (RREVDR development is networking and assisting an investment group proposal that is starting up a 30 acre farm agri-business called the-- Rogue River Hempcrete Processing Plant  (RRHPP).  This will be located near the RREVDR and will be the first hempcrete processing plant in USA.  There are several strategic alliances being formed to facilitate research with leading university hempcrete studies, ICC code compliance and Oregon county planning departments in Oregon.   The RRHPP will also have separate departments with architecture design and contractors to consult, design, and build residential, industrial and commercial buildings with its proprietary hempcrete block product.  RREVDR will have a strategic alliance with RRHPP to build all its 450 homes and 23 green businesses with the hempcrete block product.

 

There are 7 phases in this development plan.

 

Phase 1— Strategic Partnerships

Finalize strategic resource list and letters of intent (LOI’s) with all the identified strategic research alliances and investment group wtjh its primary stakeholders.  with its functions and duties attached to the defined hempcrete research, hempcrete farming operations and hempcrete processing plant goals.  Strategic partners include a Oregon university agriculture department; additional international universities that have already completed hempcrete research studies that have been used as references to their respective municipal planning building departments; Industrial Hemp Farm and hempcrete consultants in farming and processing specialties; hemp building contractors; Hemp seed banks; green architects with hempcrete experience.  Additional LOI’s include the approved list of local farms interested to participate in the hemp research project and industrial hemp crop contracts that have options to be in the Coalition of Hempcrete Farmers.  Establish a hemp resource list of targeted suppliers, vendors, manufacturers, consultants and contractors.

 

Inside Research & Operations Staff

Finalize list of staffing positions and establish letters of intent with all indentified research & operations staff that includes a Hemp Horticulturist expert, Botanist, Processing Plant Operations Manager, Hempcrete Farm Manager and Farm assistant.

 

Phase 2-- Develop Site Design Plans for the Research Center and Processing Plan

Integrated design plans features the processing plant & research center in close proximity with expansion capability of the research center as the research center grows and expands its research programs. Research center design can feature a green house for various plant propagation

Hempcrete farm costs, equipment, hemp seeds, irrigation and processing plant equipment costs including industrial decorticating, straw processing, scale block production  including mixers, bloc press, the dryer, warehouse.  Additional material costs, employee, contractor and consultant costs.

 

Phase 3-- Develop Budgetary Costs for Hempcrete Farm & Hempcete Processing Plant Operations

Hempcrete farm costs, equipment, hemp seeds, irrigation and processing plant equipment costs including industrial decorticating, straw processing, scale block production  including mixers, bloc press, the dryer, warehouse.  Additional material costs, employee, contractor and consultant costs.  

Phase 3— Develop Budgetary Costs for Hempcrete Research Project Integrated with RREVDR Research Center

Create a research criteria outline with specific goals in the research studies, acceptance criteria, reference stan-dards guidelines, testing methodologies, scope of recognition. Integrate ICC (International Code Council) require-ments in hempcrete building code compliance to achieve the publishing of hempcrete code compliance resulting in the Evaluation Service Report. 

              

Phase 4--    Execution & Purchases

Hire personnel and advisors, consultants; purchase/lease land; secure water rights, obtain Oregon Dept of Agriculture Hemp Grower & Hemp Handler, Hemp Seed Permits; prepare farm fields and irrigation systems and planting;  building plans for first stage build-out of hemp processing plant and research center that are integrated with Jackson County Planning Dept participation as a strategic partner in the hempcrete building program.

 

Phase 5--    Processing Plant & Research Center Building Construction

 

Phase 6--    Hempcrete Farm & Research Center Integrative Operations

Integrate the hempcrete research project with strategic partners into the RREVDR Research Center whereby the “living laboratory” eco-village destination resort setting enables the showcasing, marketing and tours of hempcrete prototype models of hempcrete built homes, hempcrete commercial buildings, hempcrete barns, hempcrete chicken houses, hempcrete animal pens; hempcrete equestrian buildings

​

Phase 7--    Hempcrete Research Center, Management, Administration

Integrating staff in research and farming operations include different roles with Hemp Horticulturist, Botanist, Processing Plant Operations Manager, Hempcrete Farm Manager.  Different projects include developing develop seed strains that are female only; working with new or existing hemp seed strains that will enable shorter harvest times to get 3 growing seasons a year in southern Oregon and creating a Seed Bank specializing in different optimized Hempcrete seed strains.  Additional hemp seed strains would also be created and optimized for developing--

1. Hemp plant seed strain in Structured Wetlands tied into Biological Living Sewage System

2. Hemp plant seed strain for Biofuel  applications as a clean green fuel to power generators charging battery banks

3. Hemp plant seed strain for linen-based product using the hemp blast fiber

4. Hemp plant seed strain optimized for Nutrition in Hemp oil, Hemp protein powder, organic shelled hempseed

5. Hemp plant seed strain optimized for CBD Oil
