A GREAT REVIVAL IS HAPPENING IN PEEKSKILL NY

By
Education & Training with Performance Development Strategies

If you enjoy seeing charming old Hudson River towns then you need to visit Peekskill NY.  According to the Wall Street Journal Peekskill is a Hudson River town that is making a comeback. 

 

Last weekend, June 6,7, 2015 Peekskill had an "Open Studios" event.  There are many lofts, art studios, places for foodies, and other attractions in town.  Let me introduce you to two of my friends and Peekskill entrepreneurs, Monica Flaherty and Erik Contzius.

Monica and Erik 1008 Main Street Peekskill NY

Monica owns 1008 Main Street where she and Erik are standing.  This beautifully restored has retail space and office space available.  You can find out more by contacting Monica at monica@theflatz.com or calling (914) 844-1167.

Erik Contzius is owner of ZingMap, a digital marketing agency with headquarters in the building.  You can contact Erik at erik@zingmap.com or (914) 393-0121. 

Erik also sings in a Barber Shop Quartet.  Let his group entertain you in this video below.

I like the charm of the older towns . . . . and more of them are making a comeback . . . . that's my type of recycling.

Good luck and success.
