Higher projected rates would impose an immediate higher pressure to grow in order to lower the individual member costs. These values are provided in order determine the worst case scenario/highest-cost possible. If you see a property below that you like but cost seems prohibitive, help us grow and get your friends to come join us. Since the Maker Station Inc is a GA Non-Profit organization, operating costs are divided across member dues. The more members we have, the more tools we can get and lower the membership dues.
