Rep. Amy Elik was present alongside local leaders for the official ribbon-cutting ceremony at the newly completed Wedge Innovation Center located in Alton. The construction of The Wedge began on December 7, 2022, and has required nearly 200,000 hours of labor over approximately 28 months. Labor has constituted about 65% of the total renovation costs of the facility, which has been estimated at $33 million.
The Wedge Innovation Center offers a suite of amenities, including shared workspaces, private offices, multi-office suites, conference rooms, and gym facilities complete with locker rooms. Additionally, the center incorporates retail spaces and a rooftop terrace. It aims to provide a variety of programs, services, and opportunities catering to both personal and professional growth for its members and the broader community.
"This project is a significant investment in Alton's future, combining innovative architecture with functional space to support new business endeavors," said Rep. Amy Elik during the event.
The Wedge Innovation Center is expected to serve as a hub for professional development, offering programs that address the growth needs for both members and non-members.
