A Lake Zurich resident and former Motorola engineer said he hopes to make his hometown a center for tech innovation by consolidating his consulting company, light manufacturing operation and nonprofit into a new development near the village's downtown.
Mitul Patel, 38, pitched Lake Zurich leaders this week on his plan to build a two-story, 50,000-square-foot facility at 305 W. Main St., that would be known as the Village of Lake Zurich Technology Center.
Patel's company, MP Consulting, is made up of engineers who were part of Motorola Mobility when it was purchased by Google in 2012 for $12.5 billion. He plans to move the 25-person staff from their current Palatine office to the proposed center and expects to add 40 to 50 employees in the coming years.
The plan also calls for the center to house the Aarush M. Patel Foundation, which provides grants and fellowships to research institutions trying to make a meaningful impact on maternal fetal health. The nonprofit is named after Patel's son whose life ended before it could start, according to the foundation's website. The foundation also seeks to provide support to parents grieving the loss of a child.
