Meet Christy

As a lifelong resident of the Glens Falls region, I’ve always felt a connection to our community and a desire to help others achieve their goals. I believe in the power of collaboration and that we accomplish more together than we ever could alone.

My passion for entrepreneurship and economic development in Glens Falls, combined with the experiences I’ve had while working remotely, revealed a significant gap. This realization inspired me to create WorkSmart, a community-driven workspace where entrepreneurs, business owners, freelancers, and creatives from diverse industries can come together to collaborate and drive local economic growth.

I invite you to join our thriving community, where ideas flourish, businesses grow, and connections are made. Together we can achieve more.

The Past Reimagined

The First National Bank of Glens Falls commenced the construction of a grand office building to match its burgeoning success in 1914. The stunning structure crafted from Vermont marble, became an instant gem for downtown Glens Falls.

The building remained a bank until January 2016 and was renovated in 2020 to be the home of WorkSmart Coworking and Meeting Space. The ceilings were re-opened, uncovering architectural treasures hidden for over half a century. The boardroom was rejuvenated with its original features, and a sleek mezzanine level was added to create private offices. 

By blending historical grandeur with modern functionality, this transformation honors the building’s storied past and reflects the evolving needs of the community. With the introduction of coworking spaces, Glens Falls now has a space that fosters collaboration, encourages growth, and contributes to the ongoing economic revitalization.
