Grand Rapids coworking in the works

UPDATE: please see workthefactory.com for details on The Factory

A lot of talk is going on around town about opening a coworking space in downtown Grand Rapids. I’ve been having great conversations with a bunch of people, pulling together some numbers and things are looking good. People really seem to be excited about the potential of having a space that’s driven to help independnt workers and provide a unique creative enviroment.

In the next couple of weeks I want to meetup with people that are intrested in the community around a coworking space. We need to start thinking about what a coworking space in Grand Rapids should offer, where it should be and how big it really needs to be.

I’m thinking just an informal night, maybe at HopCat or another great local eatery to discuss some of these points and see where it all leads.

Let me know if you’re intrested by contacting me on twitter or leaving a comment here on my blog.
