TECH PARK ENHANCEMENTS CONTINUE
Members of the Oklahoma Technology and Research Park Joint Board reviewed plans on March 26 that will make the Stillwater development's public features more readily accessible. A parking lot will be constructed adjacent to the existing walking trail, with an entrance from Sangre Road . The all-weather lot will provide ten spaces, including a handicapped space, for those using the trail. Completion of construction is anticipated to be by mid-May, weather permitting.
The 1.1-mile walking trail has already become popular with area residents, having been completed in the fall of 2006. The addition of a parking lot will allow for off-street parking and complements a handicapped space that has already been developed along Innovation Way in the Tech Park .
Along with the planned installation of park benches and trash receptacles, projects associated with the trail have been funded, in part, by a National Recreational Trails grant administered by the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department.
OTRP is a joint initiative of the City of Stillwater , Meridian Technology Center and Oklahoma State University , providing multi-tenant lab and office facilities for technology-based businesses and research groups. For more information, visit oktechpark.com.
