Summary

This is the second year that the State and Chapel Greenspace Group has been active. The group was initiated by the leadership at SeeClickFix, a local startup company. Their efforts were focused on planting 5 shade trees along the sidewalks on State St in order to provide shade for local businesses and foot-traffic. The Grove decided to head the project for the summer 2014 planting season. The Grove provides a space for people, organizations, businesses, and communities to collaborate and prepare for their future needs. Through the dedication from a small group of Grove members, the group was able to redistribute paving stones in the state street Median, between Crown and Chapel, to form a beautiful patio space under the trees.
