In an effort to better suit the needs of local entrepreneurs, Gig East has reduced prices for all Exchange Membership levels. Additionally, visitors to Wilson can utilize the Exchange with a Day Pass for $5 or a Week Pass for $25. Brittany Smith, Customer Support Manager for Greenlight and the Exchange explains, “We recently updated our membership pricing after officially opening a few months ago. We felt the update was necessary and aligned with the Exchange’s mission to provide an accommodating space for local business-minded individuals, while also being affordable.” Here are the new membership fees and included amenities:
