ATL Region: Wired for Telework
Citing widespread broadband connectivity and a robust infrastructure, Forbes magazine again ranked the metro Atlanta region among the "most wired" in the U.S. Atlanta held firm at #2 for the second straight year, a strong showing in a region that is ripe for telework programs. But what is surprising is which city ranked ahead of Atlanta on this list. Hint: it's not in the Silicon Valley.
With a punishing commute that landed Atlanta on another Forbes list recently for all the wrong reasons, it's great that the region is getting recognition for the availability of broadband Internet that helps employees and employers alike boost productivity, save on overhead and commuting costs and get out of traffic. The availability of the Georgia Telework Tax Credit and consulting services provided at no cost by The Clean Air Campaign is icing on the cake for employers. We just need more employers to get on board.
