text: Why do they need a giant tax-funded brick-and-mortar tech park to accomplish this? The state has myriad assets in the form of old buildings that could be updated. And the point of tech is it shouldn't require a giant facility, it can be done anywhere you can set up a server base w AC. 
  Agree w the multiple other commenters; this is thinly veiled pork barrel spending on something we shouldn't be wasting our tax dollars on. This won't encourage any business innovation from outside the state or even within. Look at actual tech hubs and see what they've done - I'm doubtful you'll find this waste anywhere else.
