THE MISSION FOR THE "NEW'' OLD HEAT <br />Old Heat's mission is to attract industries that will make a long-term difference <br />for the region. Aerospace companies can test and produce components locally, <br />saving costs while staying close to Washington's Puget Sound hubs. Agricultural <br />technology firms will benefit from nearby farms and food processors to test <br />and refine their innovations. Clean energy companies and advanced materials <br />developers can use Old Heat as a research and prototyping base, while <br />software and embedded systems startups will have access to hands-on industry <br />partners. This combination of industries is carefully chosen to bring high wages, <br />innovation, and resilience to the localeconomy. <br />THE MISSION <br />ir <br />i <br />:--= <br />Tre bullding cCIi.Jlcj incluie <br />.
