Greetings,

My name is Seamus and I've been a JC resident since 2007. I'm launching an initiative to bring a multi-disciplinary workspace and education center to downtown Jersey City.

What is that you say? It's a place for makers, whether they work with wood, metal, code, paint, or pixels. The inspiration for this initiative comes from existing spaces such as 3rd Ward in Brooklyn and Techshop.

This initiative just began and it's going to be a slow-burning one at first ? I've got a full-time job at a NYC startup, but I'm dedicated to this project, as are a small group of colleagues and friends. But we need more.

If you're interested in learning more, please visit www.makergrove.com and sign-up for updates. When you do, you'll get a confirmation email that has a link to a survey, which will help us shape the direction of the effort. If you prefer you can also access the survey directly here.

If you have any questions or would like to inquire about helping the cause, please respond in the thread and I'll be happy to chat. You can also reach out to me via email at info@makergrove.com. You can also ping us on Twitter at @MakerGrove, and my personal account - @SeamusCondron.

Best,

Seamus
