KSL: Senators Romney and Lee Introduce Bill to Protect University of Utah Research Park

U.S. Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) joined Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) in introducing the University of Utah Research Park Act, legislation to protect Research Park—a center for research and development serving both the University and the local workforce. Research Park is situated on a parcel of land which was transferred to the University by the Bureau of Land Management in 1965. The legislation would remove an encumbrance from that transfer agreement to ensure Research Park remains productive and thriving. Representatives Chris Stewart (R-UT), John Curtis (R-UT), Burgess Owens (R-UT), and Blake Moore (R-UT) introduced companion legislation in the House.
