the Comprehensive Plan is to promote

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.]

sighing of Memorandum of Understanding
with
the
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) with
the opening of the National Resources
Conservation Services Eastern Regional
Technology Center whose service area
consisted of 24 states and the Caribbean
area. The Greensboro Center was also home to
the remote sensing lab. The Memorandum
of Understanding says A&T has a working farm
with modern facilities and farm equipment.
NRCS will benefit from the use of this farm
by being able to provide hands-on
training to NRCS employees. NRCS can sponsor
field studies that can serve as
demonstrations to both NRCS trainees and
also local and regional farmers. A&T
constituents will also benefit from this
type of applied investigation. Finally, A&T
faculty and students can also benefit
academically by conducting scholarly
research and publishing this information. |

Terrance Feravich email to Joe Henderson, John
Webb, CC Robert Nelson; John Merrill: I was hoping
that we might have an opportunity to sit and walk
through any hurdles that you see in proposed lease
between NCA&T/UNCG joint Millennial Campus and
GCID. Talking with John of Friday. I've
learned that he has gained a significant commitment
from the USDA for up to a 50,000 sq. ft. new
building. While they understand that we are working
hard at getting things properly set-up for all
parties and are being patient, my sense is that it
would be in the best interest of this new venture to
get that first client off to a healthy and timely
start. I'll be in Raleigh Wednesday for a couple of
meetings ... and would welcome the opportunity to
work the issues that you are see in the lease. I
know that John Merrill is also pretty flexible this
week is well. Sorry to be a bit of a pest with this
important issue and I appreciate your
understanding.
Joseph Henderson email wrote:
Terry We can deal with the new building under our
