Intro
We know our community thrives when we support the needs of the movers and shakers that live here.
That’s why we’re thrilled to announce a new partnership with our friends over at the Monterey County Business Council (MCBC) to support small businesses + entrepreneurs in Monterey County that face challenges to having their own office space.
Together, MCBC + TPW will subsidize up to 50% off on:
- Access to TPW conference rooms on an hourly or daily basis: Great for people who need a high-quality space for taking client meetings or conference calls
- TPW Memberships: Great for people who need a consistent space to work from
- A Virtual Mail mailbox: Great for people who need a stable business address!
Or a mix of all three, up to a total of $500 in discounts per applicant!
