LANCASTER : County Dedicates Work Center for Commuters
In an effort to bring the office to the worker and relieve congested freeways, county officials dedicated a new commuter work center in Lancaster.
The Antelope Valley Telebusiness Center, the first of its kind in the county, was funded by grants from the county Transportation Commission and the South Coast Air Quality Management District.
The center is offering free rent for a year for companies who agree to let employees work from it.
In dedicating the center, Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich said that it would augment another program begun in 1988 through which 2,600 county employees work at home at least part of the time. The goal is to reduce traffic and air pollution, he said.
