cutting-edge research could be spun off into startup businesses and lure

A couple of months ago, I
mentioned we were working on a ground lease for the UNCG/NC A&T
Joint Millennial Campus here in Greensboro (the former Central
North Carolina School for the Deaf and a similar size parcel
adjacent to the NC A&T farm property). We have completed the
"draft" and it has been accepted by Greensboro Center for
Innovative Development (GCID) Board of Directors( January 31,
2006) and the UNCG Board of Trustees (February 2, 2006). We
present it to the NC A&T Board of Trustees on February 15, 2006
and we are confident it will be approved. Upon approval, it
will go to the UNC Board of Governors for their approval and then
it will formally come to the State Property Office for review. "
