Land, resources available in Minnesota Technology Corridor

A collaborative group including Anoka County, Washington County, Connexus Energy and other regional partners has launched the Minnesota Technology Corridor, an initiative to attract companies to the north metro. The initiative targets companies that can use the high energy capacity, high bandwidth, available land and talented workforce available in the area.

At the center of this effort is a new website: mntechcorridor.com. This site provides detailed information about the area that notes how the region is primed for new business development, especially in the technology industry. There are 1,000-plus acres of land available in the corridor.  In addition, greater than 200-megawatt power capacity with 100% renewable battery storage options is available, significant water/sewer capacity is in place, and there are many access points to fiber-optic lines available from multiple providers. The website also has a site selector component that directs  visitors to various-sized sites within the corridor, including five premier sites that range in size from 10 to 250-plus acres.
