Business leaders are investing in the downtown core, companies are relocating their offices to the city center, small entrepreneurs are leading innovation and cultivating their new products and services in collaboration spaces downtown, we can see the economic drivers are working toward building a technology epicenter," said Craig Jackson, DP&L President and CEO.
