HF Initiatives

The Hagedorn Foundation is partnering with Sustainable Long Island (co-founded by Amy and Horace Hagedorn) and the public and private sectors to work towards the implementation of environmentally responsible "green" Hubs. The vision is to create a center where members of the community can come together and partake in the benefits of a shared non-profit workspace with affordable housing that is tailored to the needs of the community. This is an ongoing process and we hope to embrace and incorporate the results of community revitalization visioning.

Hubs will be unique and share certain characteristics.

The Hubs project goal is to:

• Embrace environmentally sound, smart growth principles.
• Be designed from the ground up utilizing green architecture.
• Provide shared space for nonprofits, affordable rental housing and rateable commercial rental space that will contribute to affordability.
• Utilize the latest technology, including wind power, solar power, recycled materials and cutting-edge building technologies.
• Represent a collaborative effort between the community, municipalities, The Hagedorn Foundation and Sustainable Long Island.
