Abstract
Demographic, social, and technological changes in the United States alter the way businesses operate. These changes influence the location and type of office spaces that businesses demand. Communities have an opportunity to plan for these changes and, in so doing, broaden their economic base by becoming more attractive locations for business. Businesses drive employment; generate demand for housing, goods, and services; and contribute to the tax base.
