The Northside Hub (lovingly referred to as \u201cThe Hub\u201d) is a former factory reimagined as innovative community spaces and offices for our environmental nonprofit. Running on the sun, it is an inspiring place to bring people together. <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

It\u2019s been quite the journey to get here!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

For much of the 20th century, 58 Parker Avenue was home to the Standard Gage factory,\u00a0 a center of innovation and jobs in Poughkeepsie. The factory turned out precision measurement tools for the Army and Navy during World War II and received an award for excellence from President Franklin D. Roosevelt.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Just after the turn of the century, the factory closed its doors and left behind a contaminated brownfield. It was abandoned for two decades before we decided to step in, cleaning up and restoring this piece of local history.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Unveiled in 2025, the Northside Hub is now home to our staff offices and light-filled spaces for the local community and visitors to learn, grow, play, create, and celebrate together. It\u2019s just steps away from the popular Walkway Over the Hudson pedestrian bridge and the Northside Line rail trail \u2014 two former railway spans that we helped transform for the public.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThe Hub\u201d runs entirely on the sun with every detail grounded in sustainable design, aligned with our vision for a beautiful and healthy Hudson Valley.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
