Caroline offering site for telecommuters

Caroline to offer free telecommuting on Fridays during February

Date published: 1/27/2008

By COREY BYERS

Starting Friday, Caroline County residents wishing to telecommute to work can do so from the Community Services Center.

Every Friday in February from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., the county will offer free wireless Internet access and work spaces for telecommuting by Caroline residents.

County staff will monitor the pilot program through the month to measure the level of interest.

"If there is sufficient interest and participation, the program will continue beyond February," a county news release said.

Floyd Thomas, chairman of the Board of Supervisors, initiated the program and announced the trial last week.

The county is working with Virginia Broadband to bring wireless access to the Community Services Center, adjacent to Bowling Green Primary School in Bowling Green.

Information Technology Manager J.P. Montague said work spaces will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Partitions will separate work spaces to give users privacy.
