Benton Park was built by Corning, Inc. in 2000-2001, who for the last 25 years have developed life-changing innovations including the glass for Edison's light bulb, ultra-thin glass for Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Displays (AMLCDs), ceramic substrates for diesel and automotive emissions control, and the first commercially viable, low-loss fiber for use in telecommunications.
Corning spared no expense in its construction of the Benton Park facility.As a leader in technologicalinnovation, Corning designed a facility far beyond its generation both functionally and aesthetically. However, due to corporate relocation and a shift in product design, Corning actually never moved in to Benton Park. Wolfington Companies acquired Benton from Corning Inc. in 2002.
