Lee & Romney Partner to Protect Research Park
Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Mitt Romney (R-UT) reintroduced the University of Utah Research Park Act, a bill to protect and preserve Research Park, a vital center for research and development that serves both the University and the local workforce. Research Park is on a parcel of land transferred to the University by the Bureau of Land Management in 1968. The bill would preserve the University of Utah’s nearly 600-acre research park which is home to home to over 50 companies and organizations, employing nearly 14,000 people and generating millions in economic activity annually.
