The initiative will create a cooperative environment for institutions, businesses and universities working on robotics, oceanography, renewable and nonrenewable energy, biotechnology, communications hardware, information technology, advanced materials and civil engineering.
“It is a privilege to invest in a project that will improve the quality of life for residents throughout the region,” said Nicholas Christ, CEO and president of BayCoast Bank and co-chair of the SouthCoast Development Partnership.
Over three years, the project will develop a plan and build support for economic opportunities in engine and turbine manufacturing, wind and hydro power generation, nautical systems manufacturing and coastal water transportation technologies.
