The Real Cost In New Harmony is an overview of the hidden costs associated with development of an area that is typical of America`s rural ``backyard``. Covered within the paper are the indirect costs to society, the environment, and to the health of individuals that are not currently factors when the cost of a project is assessed by developers. A comparison of current development practice with sustainable goals is included as an argument for a more holistic process of project cost assessment.
