The Center, New Mexico

The Center, officially known as The Center for Innovation, Testing and Evaluation, is a proposed facility designed to test new technologies, particularly renewable natural energy. It was originally to have been located on about 15 square miles near the town of Hobbs in Lea County, New Mexico it was to have been a city with no permanent population. Due to the lack of people, The Center was described as a ghost town, since it will not have permanent residents occupying the facilities located on site. Construction was scheduled to start in June 2012, but was cancelled in July 2012. Pegasus Global Holdings' decision to build the city arose from their own testing needs.

The project appeared to be temporarily halted in 2013; however, a new report in May 2015 reported that Pegasus was resuming planning and building efforts for the project. Pegasus plans for the facility to begin its first operations as early as 2018. One of the aimed goals and purposes of the facility besides the development, testing and implementation of cutting-edge technologies is to further and harness the return on investments made in science and technology research.
