> Hope they find much success and build a model that can be replicated.

I'm not sure Montclair is the best place to build a replicable model. It's a nice town, but it's also a pretty unique bubble (even compared to the rest of New Jersey). It might be a good place to incubate an idea, but any lessons learned there probably won't apply to most places across the country.

I don't know about that. As a fellow NJer, I agree on your assessment of Montclair, but this story is about a couple who got in touch with the community and wants to share knowledge in that community to help it grow. I don't see how that doesn't apply elsewhere, or how they're wrong in approach. Actually, I even believe the part about not in it for the money.
