From Kyle Middleton
2022 was an incredible year at Granite City Coworking. As always, it's been an honor to serve our members—and to be part of their journey as entrepreneurs and innovators. The past year has been one of tremendous growth for us all, and as we look back on the past twelve months there is no doubt that we have all experienced some ups and downs along the way. But here at Granite City, we have always been there for each other over the inevitable challenges of entrepreneurship.
This past year has been one of significant growth for us. We welcomed Sociology into our family and opened up two new spaces: The Nook and The Loft. We also launched the Granite City Foundation which I am exceptionally proud. We have more than doubled our membership, hosted amazing events and since last year and have had an incredible influx of amazing new members and businesses.
This tells me two things: firstly, that our space is growing and more vibrant than ever before; secondly, that there are many more people who want to work in a community-oriented environment like ours. And while this growth has brought with it a few challenges (like managing new spaces or learning how to use new equipment), it has also made us better than ever. I am incredibly grateful to be able to share this inspiring annual report with our members as well as our larger community. It is an exciting roundup of 2022 and a look into the future of Granite City Coworking.
Looking forward to 2023, I can tell you a few things. Granite City is going to continue to grow and we are excited about doing more for local innovation and economic development. We will continue to be a place that supports businesses and entrepreneurs. We are going to work hard at being the best coworking community in Folsom, and I hope you join us for the ride!
