Macomb County Residents and Entrepreneurs Launch Naming Contest for Co-Working Space

MT. CLEMENS, Mich., June 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Macomb County residents and entrepreneurs Shane Gianino and Davin Salvagno, today announced a contest to "Name Our Space," for a new co-working and community development hub opening July 1^st in downtown Mount Clemens.

The space, name to be determined, will provide a faith-based environment that offers flexible workspaces and will serve as an idea incubator for Christian entrepreneurs, freelancers, startups, and small businesses. The co-working space will also operate as a community development hub, offering free resume writing, soft-skill training, and career coaching services. 

The space will inspire innovation and collaboration, featuring private and open workspaces, meetup and conference rooms, dedicated podcast room, onsite training facility, library, and various services and amenities.

"We were trying to think of a name that is purpose-driven and has meaning," said Shane Gianino, Founder of Pathway Staffing. "That's when we thought, why not engage the local community and have a naming contest? After all, one of the purposes of the space is for the community."

"With the sudden demand for more remote workspaces, and our commitment to invest in our local community, this move just made sense," said Davin Salvagno, Founder of PurposePoint. "Our family lives just 10 minutes away from this city that has so much potential to be a vibrant downtown we can all enjoy, this is just one more step in that direction."  

Located in the heart of downtown Mt. Clemens at the top of the Vicant Building (59 N. Walnut Street, Suite 302, 48043), this new space overlooks all the fabulous amenities the historic Bath City has to offer, including; restaurants, the Macomb County building, circuit court, river front, and a nearby private 18-Hole Golf Club known for hosting events such as US Open Qualifiers.   

The renovated office space includes 3,500 square feet, with an additional 1,500 square foot training facility, providing tenant members with a professional place to operate and hold meetings while still working remotely, as well as build relationships with members through networking, event programming, and workshops.

Winner of the contest will receive a cash prize of $500, plus one year of co-working access, and will be featured at the open house ribbon cutting ceremony. Submissions are due Monday June 22, 2020. To request contest details and participate, email [email protected].

Both Shane Gianino and Davin Salvagno were recognized as members of Oakland County's Elite 40 Under 40 in recent years, prior to moving their offices back to Macomb County, leading them to partner together in this new co-working space venture.
