Site History

From Agricultural Farmland to Innovation Campus

The site was historically agricultural farmland—not managed timberland. Its open, predominantly cultivated landscape informs the park’s planning baseline and its potential for a thoughtfully phased campus.

Historical land use and environmental conditions remain subject to the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment currently in progress. Phase II work would be considered only if Phase I findings recommend it.
