[Hidden-tech] Office Space needed

[Jennifer Kehoe]

Hello to Everyone,

I am Jennifer Kehoe of the Generation Sustain Venture Space in
Shelburne Falls. We are a co-working office space with an emphasis on
sustainability. We are beginning our second year running this month
and have just built out six additional smaller but still very roomy
(and movable) beautiful wooden work stations to give us twelve
altogether at this moment (six larger room-like stations have been
available for a year). The Venture Space is located at 5 Main St. on
the third floor above McCusker's Market with a gorgeous view of the
town, including the Potholes and The Bridge of Flowers, and has two
bathrooms, a shower, a cafe room, kitchen, conference room, gallery
with local art, a quiet room in the works, etc. We provide everything
you need so you can just plug in and go. The conference room is
available for rent (free for tenants) as well as permanent and
temporary work spaces (one day, one week, six months, or one year for
example, whatever need the tenant has). Please stop by any time during
the week to see our space, we love to network and find out what is
going on in the area. Feel free to write back or call with any
questions about our space, pricing and availability, or our experience
in general! Co-working is a great idea and community builder.


Best,
Jennifer Kehoe
