Equitable Business

Part 1 – Employment from the Home

 

Telecommuting is an idea that comes and goes, for some businesses this is a great idea. For those that have a desire to work from home need to have technology available for this purpose. The community will be providing a server and network availability for several purposes including dedicated bandwidth for commerce.

It is suggested that a space be provided for a home office in each of the residences. This space will have necessary hardware hookup capabilities.

A suggestion for the community plan is to have an office center in the business district. This will enable the home worker, or telecommuter to have office support services available. The plan is for a company to provide these services as a company at a reasonable cost. There are many people that are using technology to run in home businesses, the service of this company will be a great resource as home businesses try to be sustainable.

Part 2 – Business District

 

The community has a business district for the purpose to provide goods and services locally. This is to achieve the goal to have sustainability and use fewer resources. The plan is to lease spaces that are eco-friendly. It will be necessary for businesses to adhere to a recycling program, and to find ways to be environmentally friendly.

The business district will be located at the street levels of several mixed used community buildings to provide necessary services. Since the businesses are mixed into the neighborhoods, it will be important that these business are in line with the community goals.

At the home page for the community network will be a link to each business where these companies will have the opportunity to provide online services to enhance the customer service abilities within the community. The network will be set up to have the technology available. The business owners can use some or all services the network will be able to provide. This gives freedom to the owner to grow the business in a way that is not being dictated or formed by the community. With the freedom to pick services to provide, these companies can grow, as demands from customers require services.
