up with a recommendation: a Knowledge Campus, "
more commonly known as a research park. this
campus would house N.C. A&T's and UNC-G's
flagship research programs, like

There, cutting-edge research could be spun off
into startup businesses and lure exiting ones

Greensboro
City's Greensboro
Connections 2025 Comprehensive Plan was
adopted May
2003. A key principle of the
Comprehensive Plan is to promote economic
development in historically under-served parts of
the City such as East Greensboro. Properties in
these areas should receive priority consideration as
the City designates and promotes land for economic
development. The NCA&TSU Farm site is one such
candidate. 7D.3 Promote economic development
through public/private partnerships to include
government, economic development agencies,
educational and health care institutions, and
businesses. Build on existing partnerships and
initiatives in this effort. Examples include:
|
University-related research and development
opportunities with UNCG and NCA&TSU (building
on the example of the Nussbaum Center incubator
facility)[ One of their primary tasks will be
keeping tabs on research at the two universities, in
areas such as engineering and sciences, that might
have commercial uses. They will look for existing
companies that could benefit from that research and
explore the potential of using it to create start-up
businesses.]
