Despite many locals not quite grasping the concept of shared workspaces, the facility is contributing greatly to the economic development in the county.  Right here in our small town is the home to quite an amazing group of professionals that call Caswell County home and also work here for major corporations.  Each day the facility is home to at least 12 different companies several of which are on the Fortune 500 list.  Others are independent contractors or solo-prenuers (entrepreneurs that run their own business and do not have any employees aside from themselves, for now).

Not only has the team at Caswell Family Medical Center been very busy working to provide quality health care services to our community but they have also been diligently building a medical practice for patients in neighboring Rockingham County at their Eden location, the James Austin Health Center. It opened in 2019 and is celebrating its first year anniversary this month.

As the marketing project went from month to month, it became clear even to someone without young children, how important this group is for building a solid foundation for our children in the county.

Most of us are probably familiar with security systems of some type these days. The history of their beginnings is quite interesting. In the early days before mechanical or electrical options, people relied on the noises from startled animals and guard dogs as ‘alarm protection’. In the early 1700’s, the first very first creation of an intrusion device was created by an English inventor, Tildeley.
