Steven Gardner of the Bremerton, WA  Sun reports that Boeing scraps telework plan at OC-Poulsbo (Nov 12, 2003) - a project to investigate the use of telework centers in Kitsap Washington, blogged here back in August. According to the article, "The company says there is not enough financial benefit or local employee interest to proceed." Sad news for Kitsap County? Not really according to Ed Stern, Poulsbo city councilman and member of the board of the Kitsap Regional Economic Development Council:

"Stern said the company's decision reflects the business community's attitudes about infrastructure, that it's largely the responsibility of government. Since Stern has long pitched fiber as a way to save on roads, he has no problem in seeing government jump ahead in implementing fiber before businesses are willing."
