Local leaders, growing businesses and entrepreneurs celebrated the grand opening of 79°West Hub at Mosaic in Chatham Park on May 9. Guests enjoyed drinks, hors d’oeuvres and tours of the 20,000-square-foot coworking and startup space. Community manager Bobby Duke provided remarks of gratitude to kick off the tours. “We want to build an inclusive place that meets the community’s needs,” Bobby said. In addition to coworking, meeting rooms and private office spaces, 79°West Hub offers regular programming and events for entrepreneurs and growing businesses. In partnership with Innovate Carolina, members can enjoy lunch and learns, educational seminars and networking events. The community is named for the 79th degree of latitude that connects Pittsboro to Chapel Hill. CM
