Brian–
Looks like the OSTP site has moved within the WhiteHouse.gov fold. I’ve fixed the links to the documents, which are available here: http://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/eop/ostp/rdbudgets/2011

What happened to the White House web page that had the excellent summary of the White House initiatives on regional clusters? If you click on ‘$75 million’ in the post above in 2nd paragraph you get a 404 error at the White House page. The link worked earlier today

Geographically located “Hubs” for new cluster developments is interesting. However this theory is but advancing a “compound” master plan that essentiallly promotes the not to be shaken “apartheid” status quo future of another old baseline urban regional planning strategy.

Wake up policy makers and economic wonks! You are forgeting that without a honest nationally driven VISION for a new technology transportation system to connect these “hubs” the author is spiralling down into an fatal abyss.

The technology is with us already! Just visit http://www.Et3.net and evalute the Science of new mobility.

This is a much needed strategy to support innovation regardless of state borders. Establishing a regional focus is needed to ensure that America is strong in science and technology, entrepreneurship, etc. Innovation has no boundaries!

Seems to me that economic growth means that which is created and brought to market that has not existed before, a positive change created by innovators not afraid to make waves and wakes, as cited in Save Pebble Droppers & Prosperity on Amazon.com and claysamerica.com
