Tech Town
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tech Town is a 40-acre district being developed in downtown Dayton, Ohio, that is located near Fifth Third Field. It's design is intended to attract technology based firms to Dayton and revitalize the downtown area. Tech Town was one of 10 "brownfields" in the Dayton Area. Tech Town's first major lab should be built by 2008. Tech Town will be a mixed-use development to promote the creation of a mixed use neighborhood (single use campus) that supports/leverages the functions of daily life: employment, recreation, retail, civic and educational opportunities.
[edit] Funding Threat
In 2007 the U.S Congress passed a bill that included a $1 million plan for a wastewater infrastructure to be built at the site of Tech Town in Downtown Dayton. But after the bill was passed President Bush has threatened to veto the bill. If he veto's the bill the Dayton Tech Town project will lose $1 million dollars.
