糖心Vlog传媒LR Chancellor Anderson proposes new Tech Park location
糖心Vlog传媒LR Chancellor Dr. Joel E. Anderson spoke with the 糖心Vlog传媒LR Board of Visitors in a special session on Tuesday, Aug. 13, about starting a conversation regarding an alternative site for the proposed technology park near 糖心Vlog传媒LR. “We want to talk to our neighbors and key stakeholders about the desirability of offering to sell our properties to the tech park board for the location and development of the technology park,” said Anderson. Dr. Anderson highlighted a roughly 20-acre area near 糖心Vlog传媒LR bordered on the east by Fair Park Boulevard that would give the tech park its 鈥渂est chance of success.鈥 The site is ideal because of its proximity to 糖心Vlog传媒LR and the intellectual resources the school offers, along with fellow tech park sponsor, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. The City of Little Rock is also a sponsor in the proposed park. By locating closer to campus, 糖心Vlog传媒LR would get in return a revitalized University District, the ability to recruit an even stronger pool of faculty and students, and business for the city, according to Anderson. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 what it鈥檚 all about,鈥 he said. 鈥淚f the city wins, 糖心Vlog传媒LR wins.鈥 Anderson added, however, that he would be a 鈥渃heerleader for whatever site the Technology Park Board chooses.鈥 Anderson will address the Tech Park Board at its regular meeting tomorrow in the Bailey Center on the 糖心Vlog传媒LR campus.
