Cape May County officials and their economic development partners celebrated the groundbreaking Wednesday of Tech Village at Cape May County Airport.
The $6.2 million, 20,000-square-foot complex is the first of three proposed buildings that will serve as an innovation hub for tech businesses that will advance the goal of growing year-round jobs to residents within the county. The first building already has two tenants and is half-rented.
“This is the start of a reimagining of Cape May County’s economic future,” Cape May County Freeholder Will Morey said. “We need to find new ways to diversify and create jobs that attract top talent, which will enable our young folks to find great opportunities within the county.”
D-Tech International USA and Cellular Tracking Technologies are the two companies committed to the first building.
D-Tech was originally based only in the United Kingdom. The company had a distributor in Wildwood and chose the area for its US headquarters. The company opted to move to Tech Village to accommodate its growth and now partners with a local metalworking business.
