We're
building a rich community
of members from diverse backgrounds with a range of creative and technical talents and a
desire to improve our professional lives, our personal lives and our
community.
We're pretty confident BEAHIVE will have a positive impact on Beacon, Kingston and the areas connecting us. And our confidence isn't blind. It comes from our experience, from research into other coworking spaces around the world, from talking to interested folks about our vision, and from our own observations about the region.

“‘We're
seeing a clear trend to free agents and personal businesses, due to
outsourcing, layoffs and people looking for work-life balance or more
work flexibility,’ said [workplace expert Steve] King....
‘Those folks need support. And what's really cool about
coworking is it solves that problem for a very modest amount of
money.”
San
Francisco Chronicle,
“Shared work spaces a wave of the
future” (2/19/08) |
- Tap into the creative capital of multidisciplinary people to work together on projects benefiting the community
- Provide a sense of community to members, especially those who are newcomers to town and aren't getting involved otherwise
- Drive traffic and create energy on Beacon's Main Street and Uptown Kingston that will:
- help support current area businesses
- help attract new businesses, tourists, residents
- Help promote and represent both cities as progressive, creative, lively, living communities throughout the Hudson Valley and beyond
- Help strengthen the local service economy, supporting the growing creative class and microbusinesses in the area
