300+ people is a lot. When you think about the space they will need, the food, the water, all the little annoying logistics, just organising them for the first week will be a Herculean task. For six months or more?

How are you going to handle that? What provisions do you have to feed 300 people for the first year?

And where are you going to get the water for hydroponics? I know firsthand that growing in just a 6ft x 6ft area will take around 200 litres a week. And the fertilizer is very specific. Try growing without it and you will have very sick, yellowed plants in the first few weeks, and then just brown mush thereafter.

Cardio machines generating electricity is a false economy. The people exerting themselves will require more food to power the generators than you could grow with the power that you produce. Unless you have a large surplus of food, AND a pressing need for power (surgery, etc) then I advise against it.

What you plan is to essentially set up and run a town. Difficult? Absolutely. Complex? Yes. Possible? I'm not going to tell you no (look at my own plan. A model of modesty and conservative thinking it is not) but you need to put a lot of thought into every aspect of this. Especially the mundane, everyday problems.
