Flagship
Enterprise Business Accelerator
 In
June of 2007, the Flagship
Enterprise Center dedicated the
new Flagship Accelerator
adjacent to I-69 and southwest
of Remy, Inc. within the
Flagship Business Park. The new
facility will support the needs
of incubator graduates and
qualified “early stage
companies” that are
transitioning to a permanent
location within Anderson and
Madison County.
Participating
in the program was Charles
Staley, CEO of the Flagship
Enterprise Center and special
assistant to the president for
Engagement at Anderson
University; Kevin S. Smith,
Mayor of the City of Anderson;
Dr. James L. Edwards, president
of Anderson University, Tim
Lanane, Indiana State
Senator–District 25, and Dr.
Kerry Robinson, AU trustee and
senior pastor of East Side
Church of God in Anderson.
Built in
partnership with the City of
Anderson, the Flagship
Accelerator will represent the
third facility, including the
recently dedicated Anderson
Business Incubator at 700
Meridian Street in Anderson,
within the management portfolio
of the Flagship Enterprise
Center. In addition, the
Flagship Enterprise Center also
hosts the Flagship Education
Center supporting the
educational operations of
Anderson University and Purdue
University.
The new
facility was built for a cost of
approximately $2.6 million plus
lands costs. The facility will
provide approximately 70,000
square-feet of operational space
and 28 feet of “clear span” for
storage, light manufacturing,
and prototyping. The facility
was constructed to accommodate
additional office space as
needed by accelerator tenants.
GDI Construction Corporation in
Indianapolis was the
design-build contractor for the
project.
