The Better Block Parklet SVHEC will provide additional gathering space for Factory Street Brewery and for the SVHEC. The Brewery is a new small business that has already established itself as a fun, family-oriented establishment whose owners support and encourage other businesses. Located in downtown South Boston -- and directly across the street from the SVHEC -- the owners host community events and fund raisers for non-profits like the Turkey Trot and Back the Blue 5k runs. The Brewery is within walking distance of downtown shops and restaurants and is catty corner to Constitutional Square, the location of numerous community events. SVHEC students also will benefit from the parklet as they will only be a crosswalk away. Juniors and Seniors attending the SVHEC's Career Tech Academy will provide the labor for building the Parklet and ProductWorks@SVHEC will secure and prepare the materials.
