Funding To Help South Charleston Technology Park
WEST VIRGINIA....
Higher education officials plan to use $12 million in stimulus funds to renovate and operate a research and technology park in South Charleston.
The Higher Education Policy Commission will take control of the campus of the West Virginia Education, Research and Technology Park from Dow Chemical in mid-December.
The commission planned to vote Tuesday to accept the stimulus funding from the governor's office.
Vice chancellor Paul Hill says the funding will allow the commission to modernize the park's buildings and get them ready for occupancy.
About $4 million will be used to pay for electricity, sewer, water and other operating costs.
