One of my initial concerns about locating the Quantum Campus on the former Solo site is its proximity to Indiana. I hope Illinois’ investment and tax dollars don’t end up disproportionately benefiting NWI. Some spillover is probably unavoidable if quantum computing takes off, but ideally Illinois retains the majority of the economic activity.
With University of Chicago about four miles north as the crow flies, it seems likely that firms and employees would prefer to cluster closer to that ecosystem as development expands around and outward from the campus.
That said, very cool to see this kind of tech investment and momentum happening in the city!
