Our Stories

The Green Space on Prospect Street project has brought together many individuals and families who support this effort in order to leave a legacy for future generations. We launched Our Stories to enrich our understanding of the 4.6-acre property at 297 Prospect Street and what it means to the community members who support its acquisition and preservation. Please join us as we explore the history of the property and find out why “This Place Matters”.
