Suitland Technology Center Suitland, Maryland

In 1997, Suitland Family and Life Development Corporation acquired an 8,000 square foot, one-story building -- the old Dino's Restaurant. County and private funds received for the building were used to purchase the building, demolish the interior, and rough-in the underground plumbing. The building will be converted into a one-stop shop technology center.

The Suitland Technology Center (STC) will be the first commercial development project designed to revitalize the Suitland community. Suitland Technology Center's goal is to bridge the "digital divide" by connecting residents and area businesses to the world through job creation, IT training and placement, small/micro business development, and retail space leasing, thus socially and economically connecting Suitland to the world.

Today, Suitland is a pass through for commuters and a safe haven for criminal activity and sub-standard living conditions. The Suitland Technology Center will be the catalyst to bringing business opportunities and employees outside the fence of the Suitland Federal Center and into the community at large.

The Suitland Technology Center provides increased access to state-of-the-art information technology services, facilities and training to citizens and businesses in Suitland and Prince George's County. The result will be employment and higher paying jobs for residents, enhanced standard of living, and an improved local economy.

Information technology facilities, services, and training:
E-commerce, Internet service, and telecommunication services and products.
IT Workforce Development: Preparing the community with skills to become more marketable in today’s technology workforce. A location to provide education to people that live and/or working in community that wish to update their computer/network skills.
An Internet Café:
A paperless café providing the community, Federal Center and businesses with good food and a place to meet clients.
Office space for new and expanding business.
By leasing office space from the Suitland Technology Center, businesses gain the benefits of a high traffic area; being close to a major federal headquarters -- the Suitland Federal Center; and being in a hub for local information technology and management, with up to date services and facilities for information technology activities in the area. Whether a high tech business or not, one can leverage these physical assets of the Center to make gains and to ensure the success of your business.
An Internet Service Provider (ISP).
