Update and Plans for the
DuPage Technology Park
Located north of Fermilab is an 800 acre track of land just
beginning the development process. This site is known as the DuPage County
Technology Park. The purpose of the Park is to provide a location in which
researchers and businesses operate in close proximity in an environment that
fosters the collaboration and innovation necessary to promote the development,
transfer and commercialization of technology through a public-private
partnership. The project is a cooperative venture between the State of
Illinois, DuPage County, and the DuPage Airport Authority. A not-for-profit
organization has been created to oversee the building up of the site. The State
of Illinois has provided a $34 million grant to pay for the infrastructure
related to the site development.
