How could the State of West Virginia use the tech park?
The facilities at the South Charleston Technology Park are designed to support research and bringing innovation into the marketplace. Governor Manchin is working hard to make this project a reality and is exploring a range of options that will make the donation viable for the state. One option that has been suggested, relocating some state offices to the property, has raised many constitutional and legal questions. In addition, moving general offices to the park does not advance the vision of creating a research environment at the facility. The Alliance and its partners are committed to working with our leaders to create a research, innovation and commercialization center, not an office park.
