Carmit (Hebrew: כרמית) is a community settlement in the northern Negev desert in Israel, within the jurisdiction of Meitar located near Kramim forest.
History
[edit | edit source]The community was founded for olim from North America.[2] A neighborhood for ultra-Orthodox Jews was also planned.[2] In 2005 the District Planning and Building Commission of the Southern Region approved the construction of 739 housing units for Carmit's Phase A. Residents moved into the first neighborhood during 2013,[3][4] with the community eventually intended to comprise over 2,500 housing units, each on an area of 1/8 acre (1/2 dunam).
Absorption to Carmit is being carried out by the Jewish National Fund,[2] the Jewish Agency, the Meitar local council and the OR Movement that has established six new communities in the Negev, West Bank and Galilee – Sansana (West Bank, est. 1997-2000), Merchav Am, Mitzpe Ilan, Haruv (2004), Be'er Milka (2006), and Giv'ot Bar (2004).
In 2011, marketing for plots of land began.[5]
