Hello hello! We've got great pow up here in the northeast as we watch the festivities in Sochi - feeling pretty good to be the home of snowboarding and slopestyle talent right now! Hope all my fellow coworking colleagues are having a good time with the Olympics too.
So, again, want to state my thanks for all the help folks here provided on the development of the coworking guide we put out last year - we've really seen a spike in interest, with plenty of opportunities to offer insight and support since the report, "Coworking in Vermont: A Starter Guide" went up (http://local64.com/coworking). And with this success, we have state interest: the Vermont legislature would really like to do something to help coworking spaces get up and running. They recognize the value coworking spaces can bring to our historic downtowns on many levels. And I have to confess: I don't entirely know what to tell them. My story is about bootstrapping, and how the biggest incentive I found would be the ability to write down ALL my startup expenses for furniture and equipment year one instead of amortization. BUT since that's not going to happen... Any ideas on state supports or incentives for coworking that could flow to the entrepreneur, not the landlord or developer (sometimes they are the same but it seems rare. And there are other state tax credits for historic buildings, etc). Fishing for ideas and best practices. Thank you.
