Work continues to prepare a site for chip fabrication and nanotechnology development in upstate New York, near Albany.
EDPros hope to make the 1,350 acre Luther Forest Technology Campus into a major manufacturing center for 10,000 jobs. They are in the final stages of the land use planning process. Learn more.
The master plan retains approximately 50% (885 acres) of open space, including 619 acres of wooded area, 18 acres of public recreation, 8 miles of pedestrian trails and 100+ acres of park preserve area.
Learn more about the project from the Saratoga Economic Development Corporation. Go.

Some Background on EDPro Weblog
The purpose of this weblog is to help economic development professionals -- EDPros -- keep up with the changes sweeping our profession. Strap on your goggles. It's a whole new game. There are no experts any more. The only place to learn about economic development is from other EDPros who are doing it.
One other point: the prevaling approach (paradigm, if you like) in economic development is shifting from competition to collaboration. There are a lot of reaasons underlying this shift, but here's the important insight: You, your community, and your region will do better by collaborating and sharing information.
