Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh recently jumped into the debate over working from home that was sparked by Yahoo's recall of its remote workers, telling CNBC that he feels that it's difficult to build a strong company culture when you have lots of telecommuters.
"We don't really telecommute at Zappos," Hsieh said. "We want employees to be interacting with each other, building those personal relationships and relationships outside of work as well."
Hsieh's committed to that more than most. He's moving Zappos' headquarters from Henderson, Nevada, to downtown Las Vegas this fall as he invests $350 million dollars of his own money into making the area a place where entrepreneurial-minded people will want to make a career and a life.
We caught up with Zach Ware, who's heading up the development of the new campus in Las Vegas' old City Hall building. The original deal to move its headquarters cost $18 million
