					<description><![CDATA[March 12, 2024 – As SoBro Conservancy of Saratoga began transforming a barren former gas station site at 209 South Broadway in Saratoga Springs into a vibrant green space, it needed a shed. Since education is a key part of the nonprofit's mission, it didn’t want to just buy a shed. It wanted young people to have a stake in its regreening project. SoBro wanted students to gain experience by building the shed and contacted the WSWHE BOCES Career and Technical Education (CTE) division to assist. In spring 2023, John Coffinger and his construction trades students at the Southern Adirondack Education Center in Hudson Falls signed on as partners for the project and began work on the 8'x12' shed. Students from this year’s class continued when they arrived in the fall. Construction was completed just a couple of weeks ago.]]></description>
