Abstract:

Freelance contractors and business owners feeling isolated from the community and other businesses prove interdependent is a better descriptor. Generating community as well as collaboration is Base Camp Asheville, offering entrepreneurs spaces for work and play. Proving that pleasure and business can co-exist is a 1920s building refurbished with modern office conveniences like high speed Internet, recreational areas like a ping pong table. Proving this principle also are profiles of companies such as Anthroware and local entrepreneurs such as David and Amanda Highley, co-owners of web coding company MyTownUSA.
