An incubator for climate activism
“MY VISION for State Street is that it stays closed,” says Sigrid Wright, chief executive officer of the Community Environmental Council, which on July 6 opened its new environmental hub at 1219 State. “Then it’s a vibrant center for retail, arts, and entertainment, but also just for the community to come and be without having to spend money.”
Wright says they are hoping to anchor their section of State, and create a welcoming space where people can put their time and energy into strengthening the community. “Go out to eat, go shopping, and get your ticket to the Granada, but this is a place where you can come to be inspired and design solutions to environmental and social problems.”
