Thank you, Develop Springfield!!! At the Wellspring Cooperative’s annual meeting Jay Minkarah, CEO of Develop Springfield, talked about his non-profit dedicated to economic development of the city. Jay said he intends to continue to have historic windows repaired by the Old Window Workshop because saving windows is good for the environment, replacement windows detract from the architecture of buildings, original windows can provide jobs for women in poor neighborhoods of the city, money has to be spent on the windows anyway, so why not keep the money in our own city? Jay said, “What can be better than that?”
For 2015, we thank Quigley Builders of Ashfield and the Cummington Historical Society for allowing us to repair 16 windows at the old Parsonage on Main St. We thank MRM, Inc. of Cabot St. in Holyoke for our ongoing contract to repair their large factory windows, and we thank Develop Springfield for the opportunity to restore windows at the new Innovation Center on Bridge St. Nan, Tokyo, Annielu, Meraly, Tawanna, Tyeka, and Dawn brought money home to their families learning how to scrape, sand, repair, glaze and paint windows.
Going into 2016, these foundation buildings resulted in the core of women who will become worker-owners of the Old Window Workshop including Nannette Bowie, and Tokyo Baldwin.
