| Fairview Technology Center The availability of employment opportunities is one of the more important factors that influence the economic well-being of our community. With this in mind, Knox County has developed, and The Development Corporation of Knox County currently operates Fairview Technology Center, a business incubator facility. The main objective of the Fairview Technology Center is to support and encourage the creation of technology-based businesses by providing them an affordable work environment. By offering quality office and laboratory space at a rent that will not restrict young companies' growth, the incubator facility makes it possible for them to devote more of their capital to R & D, testing, and future production of goods and services. By making available a 12-member, multi-disciplined advisory board, the Center provides experienced advice on business issues. Fairview Technology Center thus provides assistance to companies when they need it most - in their formative years. Fairview's goal is to enable young companies to move into private, market-rate space as soon as they are financially able to do so. Fairview Technology Center is looking for companies that have the potential to produce a commercially feasible product or service that will create jobs and foster other business opportunities. The companies which occupy the center must also show a clear commitment to our community and an intent to remain in this area after they have moved from the center. By that time, they should have attained the financial stability which will allow them to contribute to our future economic growth. Networking Benefits The greatest resource offered to every Fairview Technology Center occupant is the Center's Advisory Board. These volunteers, representing diverse disciplines, are available to every tenant as needed to discuss strategy or simply sound out business issues. Other valuable technical assistance is also available through the local Small Business Development Center, University of Tennessee Research Foundation, Areawide Development Corporation, Tech 2020, and Economic Ventures, Inc. Building Amenities Each office space has an HVAC system with individual thermostat control. Flexible ductwork allows tenants to concentrate conditioning of certain portions of space. Each office is individually metered, and 3-phase power is available.
