The University of Arizona is seeking public comment for the proposed Master Land Use Plan for The Arizona Bioscience Park. The park is located at 36th Street and Kino Boulevard. Two public meetings will be held to solicit comment and input from the general public. The meetings are scheduled for Tuesday, April 1, and Wednesday, April 23.
The Arizona Bioscience Park compriseds 65 acres of land. It is part of a larger, master-planned, mixed-use development known as The Bridges. The Bridges will include a 110-acre regional shopping center and 175 acres of residential development. As part of The Bridges, the Bio Park will provide a community environment in which researchers, students and the surrounding neighborhoods can interact. The bio park will create high technology job opportunities at all educational levels and new educational opportunities with a proposed bioscience high school. A hotel and conference center is also planned in addition to the office and laboratory space. The Park is a necessary link in the commercialization of new technologies as well as development of new companies. It has been identified as a critical component in both the Southern Arizona and Arizona Bioscience Roadmaps. The University of Arizona is soliciting public comment on the Master Land Use Plan for the Arizona Bioscience Park. The University will present the plan to the Arizona Board of Regents for approval in June.
