It was announced yesterday that Chicago will be receiving over $300 million in federal grants to put together a Digital Manufacturing mecca. The Bloomberg story link is here. The coverage on Twitter has been extensive.
This is a large disruption in the Chicago tech and startup communities. To have a major tech initiative within Chicago shows that there are many different parts of the Chicago community coming together to grow. This level of cooperation between education, business, and government should be able to produce high level results both in jobs and revenue for all involved.
