Purdue Research Park Growing Again

Purdue Research Park Growing Again DelMar Software Development will move into the Purdue Research Park's expanded Technology Center when it's complete.

Increasing startup and entrepreneurship activity is prompting a big expansion at Purdue Research Park in West Lafayette. Purdue Research Foundation, which manages the 725-acre park, says most of the $12 million, 60,000-square-foot new space at the Herman and Heddy Kurz Purdue Technology Center is already been reserved.

The project is set to be complete in early 2017. PRF President Dan Hasler says "we are literally bursting at the seams with the greater demand from companies for space to build their businesses. Not only is the new expansion more than half filled, we are in talks with other entrepreneurs who are interested in moving into the space or who are already in the park and are expanding their own companies and need even more space."

The largest share of the two-story expansion will be used for office and meeting space, with the rest designed for research and development. Other features include a cafe, co-working space, wet/dry laboratory facilities, a business center and expanded parking.

Purdue says the park is the country’s largest university-affiliated business incubation complex. More than 250 businesses are located in the four-site network, employing around 4,500 workers throughout the state.

The foundation also manages the statewide network, which includes sites in Indianapolis, Merrillville and New Albany.

Did the Federal Reserve stick the (soft) landing?

When Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell began increasing interest rates in early 2022, few economists predicted a resilient economic response. It wasn't a matter of "if" we would be pushed into a recession but how bad the recession would be. Nearly two years into the steepest increase in interest rates in over 40 years, can we now say we've achieved a soft landing? Or is this a delayed economic response with a 2024 recession certain to come?...
