I think one of the issues not really talked about here is how do you define "Tech Hub" when a large portion of the Tech industry is virtual...the days of a massive Tech company locating in one city is dying or dead. IMO, this idea of a "Tech Hub" in West Michigan is similar to chasing ghosts. Tech infrastructure on the other hand, that is still very much in need of improvement in West Michigan...we all thought the SuperNAP was going to change that, it didn't, or hasn't yet. Maybe under different leadership they can improve the services there. I don't believe you can tie Amazon building a shipping hub close by as proof the SuperNAP is attracting new business here either, as Amazon nor Azure is co-locating S3 inside the Pyramid.

Let's hope this plan goes better than the previous one from State and local planners for the Las Vegas-based data center operator Switch (now privately owned by DigitalBridge and IFM) in the former Steelcase Pyramid in Gaines Township.

Also there is this: DigitalBridge buys data center company Switch for $11 billion BY Reuters — 7:58 AM ET 05/11/2022 https://eresearch.fidelity.com/eresearch/evaluate/news/basicNewsStory.jhtml?symbols=DBRG/PI&storyid=202205110758RTRSNEWSCOMBINED_KCN2MX13G-OUSBS_1&sb=1
