Washington Post : A Washington DC–based technology company plans to build a 20-square-mile model of a typical American town. The $200 million “Center,” the first of its kind in the US, will be built in New Mexico and will boast highways, houses, and commercial buildings, old and new, all designed to test everything from renewable energy innovations to intelligent traffic systems, next-generation wireless networks, and smart-grid cybersecurity systems. Pegasus Global Holdings CEO Bob Brumley said his company has been working with New Mexico state officials on the project for about 18 months. Governor Susana Martinez voiced her enthusiasm for the project and said that it could boost the state’s economy and job market.
