The New London Business and Technology Center is a 500-acre development owned by the EDA that combines modern day technology with environmentally friendly sites and nearly seven miles of walking/biking trails throughout the park, PLUS a Paul McBeth designed championship-level disc golf course. Several cleared and graded lots are available. Although the center’s focus is technology, a wide variety of business uses are welcome. The center is home to Simplimatic Automation, Damage Prevention Solutions, Belvac Production Machinery, RA Tools,  and Liberty University’s 28-acre Tech campus that includes the state of the art Center for Engineering Research & Education (CERE) facility that creates a knowledge-based R&D hub for the region. Options for locating in the New London Business and Technology Center include land lease or outright purchase of lots from the EDA. Special tax incentives are available for qualifying technology companies.

With nearly 7 miles of biking/walking/running rails, the New London Tech Trails are open to all tenants in the park and the public alike. The park is also home to a championship- level disc golf course which is open to the public, as well. Several biking and running events and disc golf tournaments are held year ’round. See the New London Tech Trails site for more information.
