WorkPlace Sonora LLC was founded in 2017 to address the needs of independent workers, who are looking for a relaxed, yet professional environment in which to do productive work. We choose to call this space a “Coworking Community” because most independent workers enjoy working for themselves but many don’t like working alone. Being in the company of like minded professionals creates opportunities for engagement that just don’t happen in a home office or at a local coffee shop.
