Hello All, This may be a misguided response but here goes. I am renovating three buildings in Greenfield on Bank Row ie very center of town. If there is interest in SOMEONE ELSE leasing and running an indyhall http://indyhall.org/ type space, I would entertain realistic lease terms and signficant build to suit including infratstructure. As we are under construction right now, this incubator/cowork idea would be a "now" thing if it was to get into my work flow. Benefits include: • finished space, chaseways, conduit etc • Corner of Bank Row and Main • Espresso cafe w outdoor seating on first floor Spaces available are approx 25 x 40 / 1000 sq ft and range from $9600/ yr- $16,200 yr Jordi Jordi Herold Icarus Wheaten & Finch One Short Street Northampton, MA 01060 413-587-4581 jordiherold at earthlink.net On Jul 21, 2009, at 1:40 PM, Ann Hamilton wrote: > Potential Bank Row users?
