Work is underway to convert a former warehouse building into the local offices of Bitwise Industries. Douglas Development is undertaking the project. The three-story, 32,698 sq.ft. building was constructed in 1949 and was most recently occupied by Concept Logistics.
Fresno-based Bitwise is expected to play a key role in expanding the region’s tech workforce. The firm works with primarily marginalized communities to obtain the skills and resources to access opportunities in the tech industry and provides paid apprenticeships to students to learn tech skills. It has a proven model of providing pathways into the technology industry for people coming from stories of poverty and/or exclusion.
Bitwise’s facility will include classrooms, space for its own business, a daycare center, café, and additional space for other companies to co-locate there.
