JACKSON, Wyo. – Jackson Hole Land Trust will host the grand opening of the new Greenspace on the Block next Tuesday, June 7.
Attendees can enjoy loaded mac and cheese and cocktails from Genevieve Catering, beer from Roadhouse Brewing and live music by Strumbucket.
The event will take place from 5 to 7 p.m.
“This free celebration is a toast to the more than 2,500 community members who stepped up to save this historic greenspace in the heart of downtown,” says the JHLT.
“This project has truly been a way to meet the people of Jackson where they are,” said JHLT president Liz Long. “The Greenspace on the Block is this natural intersection of land conservation and community. We are so excited to celebrate with the people who made this place possible and kick off a summer of partnership programming with a bang!”
On August 16, 2019, JHLT placed a conservation easement on the Block. This restricted any further development on the buildings that house Persephone, Café Genevieve, and Healthy Being Juicery. This easement also protects the space between the buildings, which is now known as the Greenspace on the Block —owned and managed by the JHLT for the Jackson community.
