The TPAC Technology Campus 2000 is Philadelphia's 21st Century solution to what has become a national crisis.   The evolution of the United States as the "global knowledge capitol" along with its significant shift towards service sector industries, is rapidly depleting our country's technical resource base.  Philadelphia's assets when coupled with the strategic initiatives of this plan, will incrementally improve our financial strength by initially neutralizing regional challenges.  As the "Campus 2000 Plan" gains in prominence, an influx of national and global business will bolster our long term financial strength, and enable Philadelphia to regain it's 20th Century status as a major global business center, and America's "Knowledge Port".

Vision Statement

Philadelphia becomes America's premier 21st Century "Knowledge Port" by creating an environment in which human, intellectual, cultural and physical resources nurture dynamic entrepreneurial and corporate growth in the IT/Telecommunications industry.

GOAL

Manage the delivery of a minimum of 2300 net, new IT/Telecommunications related jobs and the resultant $6.7 million in tax revenue, to the City of Philadelphia over the next five years. (Exhibit 1)
