Mike, Ashburn is in theory a great place for a coworking facility. You have all the displaced workers from the AOL and WorldCom headquarters plus a TON of other technology related business. I would take to heart the recommendations to network, jelly and really get a good feel for your community. The NVTC is really strong up there and may also be able to help you, at least in emotional support.
