No raining on MSU business-research parade

There was no raining on Mississippi State University President Mark Keenum’s parade Monday -- despite the weater -- at the grand continually-spreading Thad Cochran Research, Technology and Economic Development Park in Starkville of which MSU’s Research and Technology Corp. oversees. “We have a great need for new incubator space to accommodate the outgrowth of our research enterprises," he said. MSU's strategic plan over five years calls for a 25% increase in the rate of university start-ups. There have been four new faculty lead firms and eight student start-ups in the past few years at ‘Thad Park’. Source: Columbus (Miss.) Dispatch, Sept. 18, 2012.
