FRESH FOOD FOR THE LOWER WEST SIDE
LOCAL GROUPS SPONSOR FORUM ON CO-OP GROCERY

BINGHAMTON –The West Side Neighborhood Assembly (2), in collaboration with the Binghamton Regional Sustainability Coalition (BRSC), is devoting its monthly meeting to an Open Forum on the subject of a cooperatively run, community owned grocery store to serve the lower West Side. Both organizations are inviting the residents of Binghamton’s West Side and all other interested parties to this free event to be held at the Redeemer Lutheran Church – Ritchie Building, on March 10 from 7-9PM (located at the corner of Main St and Chapin St in Binghamton). The program will feature an introduction to the concept of community owned ventures and the cooperative model, and a discussion of how a grocery co-op would work in the lower West Side neighborhood. The forum is part of the efforts of BRSC and the West Side Assembly (2) to encourage discussion and raise awareness about how the Binghamton community might foster local economic growth and opportunity in this area and across the city and region.
