Emily Berwyn of Meanwhile Space said:
We’re absolutely thrilled to be working on bringing the workspace at Queen’s Market into active use. This project will welcome the pre-start-up, to the ideas stage entrepreneurs, to the adolescent business hitting maturity but wanting to stay local, hiring and inspiring from Green Street and the surrounding areas.
