Inspired by the coworking and localism movements, BEAHIVE is a pioneering space for work and community and possibilities — the first and only of our kind in the Hudson Valley, one of only a handful in all of NY, and one of probably only a few hundred in the world when we opened. BEAHIVE is a place where entrepreneurs, creatives and techies mix with nonprofit leaders, activists and community organizers. At the most basic level, we provide a member-powered, creative workspace for entrepreneurs, freelancers, remote workers, consultants, and microbusinesses. But we’re more than that. Since 2009 we’ve engaged thousands of denizens and dozens of community groups and nonprofits through membership, events and programs. Why is BEAHIVE spelled funny? It’s a cute reference to Beacon, NY (Bea-hive, Bea-con…). The original BEAHIVE opened in May 2009 in the heart of Beacon’s Main Street in the artisan-renovated 1907 Telephone Building.
