A Note on the Dartmouth Regional Technology Center Expansion

The Dartmouth Regional Technology Center (DRTC) has received funding from the US Dept of Commerce, Economic Development Administration in the amount of $4,333,786 to begin the expansion of this very successful business incubator. Ground-breaking will take place in May, 2010, and will take approximately one year to complete. The existing 32,500 square foot incubator has served 38 high-growth technology start-up companies since opening in 2006, resulting in the creation of over 150 jobs. The demand for laboratory space is high and this is the perfect time to expand the facility to meet this demand. This new 28,000 square foot addition will continue to be a regional economic development driver, attracting new businesses designed to commercialize technology-based innovations in precision technology, biotech, biomedical, environmental and life sciences. Businesses locating at the DRTC are provided with business development services and entrepreneurial education programs through a management contract with Dartmouth College’s “Dartmouth Entrepreneurial Network (DEN) office, located at the DRTC. 

The EDA grant is supported by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). 

I hereby certify for the Grafton County Economic Development Council that the following described ARRA infrastructure investment has received the full review and vetting required by law and that as the authorized representative of the Grafton County Economic Development Council accepts responsibility that the infrastructure investment for the Dartmouth Regional Technology Center expansion project is an appropriate use of taxpayer dollars.
