Based in Detroit, Michigan, LOVELAND is all about creative new concepts in micro payments for micro ownership and use of land. It is building frameworks for many people to invest and participate in the creation of something where nothing was before, and to interact with places both in person and online in various unique ways. Starting with the smallest unit of American measurement, the humble inch, the first LOVELAND "colony" is a 10,000 square inch grid called Plymouth. People are invited to purchase these inches for a dollar a piece. When Plymouth is full it will move outdoors from its temporary home in Detroit's Russell Industrial Center and the next colony (or colonies) will appear.
