This 140-acre development will be the initiation for a “Center of Excellence” where clean energy businesses will prosper, creative energy solutions will be advanced, technology will be invented and manufactured, and clean-energy skills disseminated.
The TFIC will partner with research institutions across the country, corporations throughout the industry, and other experts within the field in an effort to develop human resources and the knowledge base. Creating a collaborative campus where clean energy businesses will flourish. TCEP will continue to prospect for state and federal funding for talent and research development as well as bring other positive assets for attracting clean energy companies from across the state, the nation, and the world.
The design of the research park is based on the idea of a sustainable development at its conception. The excess rainwater formed from impervious coverage across the site is harvested for its energy by utilizing its nutrients, flow, functionality, and growing life from its prevalence.
