Connect-The-Lots
with Lia Rousset
Lia Rousset and I worked to transform a former gas station on the corner of Sacramento and 5th Ave in Chicago into an urban growing space. Sited approximately between our two homes, it was our middle space to:
Connect Chicagoans with their resources
Connect people, places and ideas
Connect the past with the future
Connect-the-Lots Mission Statement
Connect-the-Lots reinvigorates vacant urban lots as places of growth and connection.
We cultivate safe and nurturing places to live, work, play and source food.
We value relationships.
We are transparent, accessible, and inclusive.
We leave places better than we found them.
