“Affordable workspaces give local businesses the opportunity to work, learn and grow in an environment where they feel supported,” Barry said. 

“We’re pleased to offer these spaces to local businesses that are deeply rooted in the community and bring real benefit to the area, while allowing their businesses to flourish.”
