In a few weeks, a $2 million technology center designed to help take university research to the commercial market will open its doors in Brookings.
The Agriculture Technology Center for Rural Enterprise already has its first tenant, Prairie AquaTech, an aquaculture firm that uses South Dakota State University research to develop a soybean-based food for fish farms. The 30,000-square-foot building in the Telkamp Industrial Park on the east side of Brookings is designed to help the city become a hub for both research and economic development, according to partners in the project.
