CORRECTION An April 2, Page 3 story about software developer LeanDog contained incorrect information about the company’s headquarters, a barge that formerly housed Hornblower’s Barge & Grill restaurant. The barge’s previous owner was Hornblower’s LLC. When renovations of the boat are finished, it will have about 10,000 square feet of office space, which LeanDog will split with marketing firm Arras Keathley.
