Building the Newburgh Tool Library

Join the Newburgh Tools team for a site tour and behind-the-scenes look at the organization's growing home and the vision behind this community-powered initiative. Newburgh Tools provides residents with affordable access to tools, job training, and educational resources that support home improvement, creative projects, and neighborhood revitalization.

This event will highlight the Forage + Fabrication Lab, a community design-build program established to construct the tool library building itself by transforming locally sourced natural materials into functioning structures. Learn about selecting bioregional materials, prototyping ideas, organizing a community build, and designing with sustainability and local resources in mind.

Whether you're interested in community development, design-build projects, sustainable construction, or simply curious about Newburgh Tools, this program offers an inspiring look at how shared resources and collective action can strengthen a city.
