I notice a couple buildings on the east side of Wynn on both sides of Technology are vacant.

Yea i have noticed those too, it was in refernce to the 1 billion dollar finance TIF bill coming to research park as well

Need ramp widening at 565 RPB interchange for both civilian and defense commuters. Every night I cross on the OMP overpass, there's snail-pace traffic below on RPB as far as the eye can see. The first few times I thought it was an accident, now I know it's every day traffic.

The land, which is owned by the federal government and generates no taxes today, would be annexed into Huntsville and the office park buildings would be subject to property, sales, liquor and lodging taxes.

Most of the office park would be on arsenal property just outside Gate 9, but about 80 acres behind the fence would be reserved for companies with stricter security needs."

Is this the Redstone development? Will this development bring out-of-staters like BRAC?

I believe there is plans to widen Research Park Boulevard from Redstone to Hwy 72 to 6 lanes.

The problem isnt 565 - it's from 565 to 72.

I read somewhere that OMP will be widened on both sides of Slaughter to Research Park and west to (not sure where). The widening needs to be west of Slaughter.
