The two parks: no technology park on this ground, and the certified pair dated in their own city

ITEM 9 · TESTED NEGATIVE — NO PARK, NO TENANT RECORD, ON THIS GROUND

The parks test is short because the ground is small: no innovation park, ignition park, technology park, incubator or certified technology real estate of any kind stands in Osceola or Penn Township in any record reached. The Parks leg of this build carries the town's recreation parks whole — Fern Hunsberger Park and Ferrettie/Baugo Creek County Park among them — and no technology use attaches to any of them; the county economic-development record searched for this row returns no Penn Township technology park, no tenant roster, and no certified acreage. The negative prints at that strength.

The pattern's two parks are, again, one city's pair, and they are dated here as boundary so the checklist item closes on facts rather than on an absence alone. South Bend's dual-site Certified Technology Park was established by agreement between the Indiana Economic Development Corporation and the city in December 2008 — Indiana's first two-site state-certified technology park. Its campus site, Innovation Park at Notre Dame, opened in 2009 on twelve acres across from the university, housing startup and commercialization tenants; its second site, Ignition Park, was named in January 2009 for the former Studebaker corridor, some eighty-three acres marketed to the nanoelectronics and technology firms the MIND center was expected to spawn. Both stand in South Bend, in South Bend's build. Osceola's technology real estate, entire, is a power house that closed in 1934 and the commercial frontage of one highway — and the record is content to say so.
