Build it in Brightwater
Gigabit fiber to every address, a same-week business license, and an Innovation District with room to grow.
The old mill blocks are now the Innovation District: 14 renovated buildings, a shared maker space and wet lab, and 240 companies from two-person studios to a 300-person software firm. Community Development runs one front door for all of it — zoning, licensing, incentives, and site selection.
