Marion Economic Development Corporation is pleased to announce the opening of Loft Coworking in Uptown Marion. The space, located at 700 11th Street, Suite 201, features flexible work stations for users to come and go as needed, private offices, a conference room, and access to Wi-Fi and printing services. Coworking is a membership-based workspace where diverse groups of freelancers, remote employees, and other professionals work together in a shared office setting. The Loft joins a growing network of Coworking spaces throughout Iowa’s Creative Corridor. Broadband services, including high speed Wi-Fi connectivity within Loft Coworking, are provided by ImOn Communications. The Loft conference room, branded as the “Think Tank” is sponsored through a partnership with Marion Process Solutions. The Think Tank can be rented as a space for off-site meetings by companies of all sizes. “Coworking is a great way for location independent professionals to have both a quiet or collaborative environment to grow their ideas and grow their business,” says MEDCO President Nick Glew. “Loft Coworking is a simple yet powerful place for professionals from companies of all sizes to meet, work, and innovate.” Loft Coworking will celebrate its grand opening on Thursday, September 14th at 8:30 am with a ribbon cutting. Chamber Ambassadors will assist with the event. Loft Coworking is part of MEDCO’s intentional strategy to support innovation within the Marion community. The addition of this space continues to solidify Marion’s brand promise of being the best place in Iowa to grow a business. Workspaces can be reserved daily or monthly.
