The Wayne State University Research & Technology Park In The City Of Detroit, operating as TECH Town, received a $682,000 Project Grant award from the Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration on April 15, 2021 to complete the project by March 31, 2023.
Under the DETROIT RESPONSE LABS initiative, TECH Town will leverage regional connectivity, innovation and entrepreneurship to respond to COVID-19 through the EDA's Economic Adjustment Assistance program (CFDA 11.307). This program provides technical, planning, and infrastructure assistance to regions experiencing adverse economic impacts, which in this case will involve developing Detroit's response to the COVID-19 pandemic through entrepreneurial solutions. The funding will support TECH Town's work mobilizing Detroit's innovation ecosystem to address challenges stemming from the public health emergency.
