Will the ITA attract high tech jobs to the Transpark?
The ITA boasts it will attract high tech jobs, citing the experience of Hunstville, AL and Dallas/Fort Worth, TX. In both of those areas there was already a significant mix of high tech jobs. In Bowling Green, there is no such tech base. Furthermore, the TriModal transportation core of the Transpark, if successful, would attract only distribution jobs, which tend to use low tech common labor, with typical job densities of 1.2 jobs per acre of industrial park.
