Many from the Tri-state area know the tired story of Holmdel NJ's Bell Labs building. Once a pioneer in technology now, has for decades been an ugly abandoned building sucking up resources and land space. This was where I grew up and where I got my first taste of politics. I (was too young) missed the tech boom in the 90s where Bell Labs was at it's peak. Growing up in my home town The old Bell Labs Building was the talk of many local politicians' campaigns who didn't quite know what to do with it. Many presidential candidates and presidents have probably rode past there wondering why we couldn't figure out what to do with this sprawling piece of land.
I am happy to report that it is now a central townhall/corporate campus. Not unlike what you might find at Google, Facebook, Apple. In a push towards the startup culture, Bell Works will feel like a small town itself. Complete with Stores, Homes, and Work all in one place. Giant Corporations like NVIDIA and JCP&L are already leasing the bulk of the spaces there.
You gotta admit for a once abandoned building, it looks amazing now!
