Chapter One
âMore lights.â
Maggie Spencer surveyed the work taking place in the town square, a mix of confidence and anxiety spiraling through her. Her small town of Stonecreek, Oregon, was about to be thrust into the national spotlight.
Or at least the social media spotlight. LiveSoft, a wildly successful software and mobile app development company, was searching for a new location for its company headquarters. The over-the-top lifestyle in Los Angeles, their current location, clashed with the appâs branding and corporate culture. LiveSoft was all about using technology to slow down and simplify life. LA wasnât a great place for that.
So in conjunction with a request for proposals, the company had launched a marketing campaign during which its social media followers would help determine which Pacific Northwest city would be the best fit for a company move.
As Stonecreekâs recently reelected mayor, Maggie was determined to make sure her town was chosen and had been working around the clock since the election to that end. Stonecreek had arrived late to the proverbial party, finding out about the proposal deadline only a week before submissions were due. But sheâd been thrilled to learn just before Thanksgiving that her town had been short-listed by the companyâs CEO.
And why not? Stonecreek was only an hour south of Portland and she liked to think the community boasted the potential workforce, opportunity for growth and work-life balance LiveSoft had outlined in their preferences. The company was best known for its mobile app that claimed to âbalance internal life with the outer world.â Of course, she had yet to download the app herself, but it was on her to-do list along with a million other items.
