Greetings, I just wanted to share the following semi-announcement. So I went to the Zero Waste conference in NYC.. and then I've been puttering around here occasionally piping up. Before then, I was working to try and restart the Philadelphia-based Please Take Materials Exchange.. (formerly known as the Creative Artists' Resource Project) a 501(c)3 organization. It had always been our dream to aquire a large space to develop into a "Greater Philadelphia Arts & Reuse Center" -- with both facilities, and space for the materials exchange, as well as space to share with other reuse and community organizations. It's been a long time coming (5-6 yrs) with lots of ups and downs.. but I have finally found a large brownfield/industrial property, and BOUGHT IT! It's a huge beautiful, dilapidated old textile mill.. To help make this happen, we formed Phactory,LLC to aquire and manage the property; but there's still a lot of questions to work out, financing to arrange.. renovations to do, solutions to find, etc. etc. I'm sure many of you who have done similar things know what I'm getting myself into.. eep! Hey, any nice folks out there want to help get a new creative reuse/zero waste center off the ground? :) -- msimons@no.address INFORMATION*MEDIA*PHOTOGRAPHY www.michaelsimons.com Turning Old Into New?: Please Take Materials Exchange : www.pleasetake.org A 501(c)3 Non-profit Organization Arts and Environmental Resource Network Assisstance Rehabbing Warehouse Needed.
