Kansas City Star is Watching Bridge Space

Amber Monaco • December 5, 2017

As Bridge Space gets closer and closer to opening its doors as the first coworking and entrepreneur center in Eastern Jackson County, people are starting to pay attention.  The Lee’s Summit facility is catching attention from local press.

Recently, the Kansas City Star interviewed Ben Rao, Bridge Space founder. catching_attention

The Kansas City Star points out that, “every square foot of the Bridge Space design is dedicated to entrepreneurs, their work, and their synergy. The Bridge Space mission is also focused on building networking and community throughout Lee’s Summit and the wider metropolitan area.”  This kind of support system and a centralized hub is exactly what Bridge Space supports.

Most importantly, Bridge Space is about community .

The very footprint of Bridge Space is founded in community – the facility is in a renovated, historic Post Office in Downtown Lee’s Summit and is mixing modern with vintage by combining a new, freshly remodeled interior with refurbished materials found from the local area.

The Kansas City start is noticing the progress we’re making to create a space that accelerates growth and revitalizes a neighborhood.

A coworking space brings (and keeps!) entrepreneurship and jobs in Lee’s Summit.  Not only will new ideas be formed every single day, there will be more innovation and success right in our backyard.
