Technology Park Established Across Greene and Martin Counties
What happened
The Greene County Redevelopment Commission approved a real estate agreement on September 24, authorizing the Uplands Science & Technology Foundation to market and lead negotiations for county-owned property in the WestGate@Crane Technology Park. This park spans Greene County and Martin County, and is designed to offer commercial services supporting Naval Weapons Station Crane personnel and I-69 travelers. The foundation has secured over $40 million in state and federal funding for infrastructure and site development.
