Urban Co-Works Expands Out of State Urban Co-Works, a premier coworking space provider, is thrilled to announce the opening of its newest location at 98 Lower Westfield Road in Holyoke, Massachusetts. This expansion marks the third location for Urban Co-Works, which began in 2017 in Schenectady, NY, and opened its second location in downtown Scranton, PA, in 2023. “Holyoke is a vibrant city with a growing community of professionals and entrepreneurs in need of flexible, collaborative spaces to work and thrive,” said Jeff Goronkin, CEO of Urban Co-Works. “Our team is excited to bring the Urban Co-Works experience to Massachusetts. We look forward to contributing to the city’s economic development and offering a space that inspires creativity and connection.” The new Holyoke facility offers a state-of-the-art coworking environment featuring 55 private offices, three meeting rooms, an expansive event area with a fully equipped kitchen, and a coworking section with 20 workstations. Members will enjoy 24/7 access with a keyless entry system, free onsite parking, printing services, and complimentary beverages including coffee and tea. Conveniently located near some of Holyoke’s best shopping and dining options, the space is designed to foster collaboration, innovation, and professional growth. Goronkin shared his vision for the new location: “Our goal is to create an environment in Holyoke that mirrors the success we’ve had in Schenectady and Scranton. We want to be a hub for business development, networking, and professional events. Urban Co-Works has always been about building strong communities, and we’re excited to bring that mission to Holyoke.” Ned Barowski, owner of the building at 98 Lower Westfield Road, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership. “We’re thrilled to welcome Urban Co-Works to our space. Their presence will foster a vibrant professional community in the region, and we can’t wait to see the positive impact they’ll have on Holyoke’s business ecosystem.”
Jeannine Luby Sponsors ‘Laugh A Latte’ Chamber member Jeannine Luby, owner of Laugh to Live, recently collaborated with Scranton organizations NEPA Networkers and Urban Co-Works to offer local professionals the opportunity to warm up on a cold January morning. Luby sponsored the event ‘Laugh A Latte’ that brought together about 20 attendees for coffee, conversation and a sampling of stress-relieving laughter yoga. Luby and NEPA Networkers Board President Bob Courtwright greeted participants.
Jeannine Luby Creates Connections and Laughter Plan to Start the New Year by Creating Connections and Laughing to Lower Stress at Collaborative Event in Scranton Even if you didn’t make a resolution to incorporate more networking and healthy activity into your days, local organizations in Scranton are collaborating to give you the opportunity to do just that because they know how good it is for you! It is the mission of NEPA Networkers to connect talented people of Northeast PA through events with the purpose of fostering business and career growth so when Laugh to Live owner Jeannine Luby suggested collaborating on an event with them, Bob Courtright, the face of NEPA Networkers and board president, agreed it was a good idea. Luby has benefitted personally and professionally from attending various business mixers hosted by NEPA Networkers and thought laughter would be a good addition to networking and coffee and came up with “Laugh A Latte,” an event being hosted on Wednesday, January 8 at 8:30AM at Urban Co-Works at 116 N. Washington Ave. in downtown Scranton, on the third floor. The purpose of this event is to provide people with a unique opportunity to connect and experience a sampling of brain-boosting, stress-relieving laughter over coffee and light refreshments in the modern co-working space that is Urban Co-Works. Anyone interested can also receive a tour of the facility. Luby hopes that people take advantage of this opportunity to boost brain function and mood and lower stress and anxiety and get inspired to think about wellness options for employees, volunteers clients, etc. in their organization. She said, “According to the American Psychological Association’s 2023 “Work in America Survey,” 77% of U.S. workers reported experiencing work-related stress in the past month, with 57% stating that this stress negatively impacted their health, highlighting a concerning level of workplace stress. Stress is costly–both personally and professionally. But we know from a multitude of studies that laughter can help us to lower the stress hormone cortisol, boost the ‘feel good’ hormones of endorphins and oxytocin, and provide several other wellness benefits, so my question is, ‘Why aren’t we laughing more? ” The Laugh A Latte event on January 8 is free to the public.
