Our Stories

The Green Space on Prospect Street project brought together many individuals and families who supported 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 meant to our community. Thank you to everyone who shared your stories. Green Space Romeo looks forward to continuing to collaborate with you on new opportunities!
