The 25 former tenants of the Walden Eco Village are readjusting in various living arrangements just over a week after being given five days to vacate their rentals on Garland Way in Peterborough.
Casita resident Quinn Kelley said he spent a couple days in a rental in Greenfield before returning to Strafford, his home town, to rent a space in a family friend’s house.
“Don’t know if it’s the grief, or what, but being isolated in Greenfield after all this was really hard,” he said, and that he realized he needed to be around family and friends. “Frankly, the loss of this community as a support system has been devastating. It kind of snuck up on me,” he said. “I was so focused on the next step and everyone’s feet were being held so close to the fire that nobody really had a chance to process the situation together, let alone say good bye,” he said. Kelley, a ConVal School District employee, said he would continue to work remotely for the time being.
