The document proposes the creation of an innovation center called the Co:LAB District in Corona, California. The Co:LAB would foster economic development and improve quality of life by bringing together learning, education, arts, and business. It would include a Business Venture Center with shared workspaces, a Education & Learning Center with labs and guest lectures, and a Maker Space for prototyping. Potential partners include universities and a non-profit called ethur, which would operate the Co:LAB.
