ABOUT PROVINCETOWN COMMONS
Provincetown’s newest endeavor is dedicated to community, creativity and innovation. Located in the heart of Provincetown, The Commons occupies the nearly 10,000 square foot building located at 46 Bradford Street, once home to The Governor Bradford School and the town’s Community Center.

The building offers a Community Room to host presentations and large meetings, 3 smaller meeting rooms, our Innovation Lab that will be home to people who enjoy co-working space and artist studios. Provincetown Commons supports creative professionals, artists, small enterprise, scientific and technological projects, and community initiatives through collaborative workspace, shared resources, educational programs, and economic development initiatives. Through the development and management of accessible space and resources, The Commons serves as a nexus for collaboration, vibrant relationships, and new economic opportunity for creative people in Provincetown.
ABOUT THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP
The Community Development Partnership supports an array of programs that strengthen our Lower Cape community, providing greater opportunities for all who live here to thrive.
Our work starts with creating affordable homes—so essential to a healthy economy, but a real challenge in communities like ours where seasonal and vacation dynamics drive the market beyond the reach of many who live and work locally all year round.
We also work to launch entrepreneurs and strengthen local businesses. We believe a vibrant future depends on sustaining traditional industries and inspiring new ones—especially when they’re based on renewable natural resources such as fishing and farming.
In all that we do, we aim to protect the natural environment around us through efforts that preserve the character and sustain the future of the Lower Cape.
