Yesterday I had the opportunity to attend the grand opening of the NetTech Center of Winchester, Virginia in its new location at 2281 Valley Ave. (mapquest)

The Center provides complete ready-for-business office space for teleworkers, among others. Linda Whitmer, Director of the Center, had reason to beam as she encouraged visitors to tour the beautiful new facility. According to Linda, the offices were nearly full already prior to any advertising. They house an even mix of federal clients including workers from DoD, Army, Navy, GSA, Treasury, and the Federal Highway Department; and private businesses, such as the Winchester Incubation Regional Enterprise (WIRE).
