FREE LAND IN THE I-79 TECHNOLOGY PARK

The most enticing part of the I-79 Technology Park is the availability of free land for Federal Anchors.  The High Technology Foundation’s primary tool for pursuing the Federal Anchor Model is the I-79 Technology Park.  The development goal of the I-79 Technology Park is to create a park with advanced electrical and telecommunications infrastructure that meets the requirements of those Federal operations that have the characteristics needed to contribute to building the regional business case.  Federal operations that provide significant contracting opportunities in STEM-related initiatives are the top priority for recruitment.  Once selected, the Federal operations are offered free land for the construction of operational facilities.  Several Federal operations have already located in the I-79 Technology Park.  Each one has brought with it another layer of valuable infrastructure and valuable contracting opportunities that add to the park’s attractiveness to other Federal operations.
