OUR STORY
We're Building Something Rockport Has Never Had
ERIC BRYAN GONZALES
Founder, The Pressroom Workspace
ON THE BUILDING
"I chose this space because it is the place where deadlines were being met, stories were being created and told, and communities were being built. We are all doing that same work."
I've been watching Rockport grow for a while now. Not from the outside looking in; from inside the community, close enough to see what's happening, and close enough to see what's ready to be built.
Rockport has always had the heart. The work ethic. The kind of people willing to put in the time and build something real in a town that rewards that kind of commitment. What it is missing is a place designed around that energy, a professional environment that meets the ambition of the people already here.
I moved my media company, Asturian Media, into the former Rockport Pilot building first. The moment I step inside, into the space where that paper was made, something clicks. This building carries the energy of deadlines met and stories told and a community documented with care. That energy doesn't leave a room. It stays in the walls.
And I know the next chapter of this building isn't just going to be my company. It is going to be a home for every entrepreneur and creative in Rockport who needs a room like this.
THE BUILDING
Where Rockport's stories have always been made.
The Rockport Pilot told this community's story for generations. In the original pressroom of this building, reporters met deadlines, editors shaped narratives, and the town's record was kept with care and craft.
The press is quiet now. But the building remembers what it feels like to do real work inside its walls. The Pressroom is here to honor that, and to carry it forward.
In this space, Rockport's next generation of entrepreneurs, creatives, and business owners are writing their own stories. Different work. Same walls. Same commitment to building something worth building.
ON THE COMMUNITY
"Because this is a space for entrepreneurs, you can be sure everyone there is building something. This isn't like networking. This is like being in an office of like-minded people who are working on something right now."
THE PARTNER
Built to last with the right people at the table.
The Pressroom welcomes Joanne Soward as a founding partner, her presence signals that this is not just an opening. It's being built to last.
Together, the team behind The Pressroom is committed to building what Rockport needs: a permanent, professional home for the people doing the work of building in this town.
“Rockport has always had the people. Now it has the place.”

We will be sharing every step of the buildout on Facebook; giving Rockport a front row seat to what's being created inside these walls.
