Plans For The Dow Chemical Tech Park To Be Unveiled
WEST VIRGINIA....
Future plans for the Dow Chemical Tech Park in South Charleston will be unveiled during a meeting scheduled at 10:00 A.M. Thursday morning at the park. The buildings and land at the Tech park will be deeded over to the state in January of next year. The Higher Education Policy Commission, Dow and the state have agreed to make the property a higher education research park. Higher Education Chancellor Brian Noland says the consultant hired to work on a short-term and long-term plan for the park will talk about those plans at the meeting. Noland says there's been interest in the park from a large number of private entities since the deal was announced earlier this year. Construction will begin soon on the Advanced Technology Center and new home for Kanawha Valley Community and Technical College.
