Greensboro City's Greensboro Connections 2025 Comprehensive Plan was adopted May 2003.  A key principle of the Comprehensive Plan is to promote economic development in historically under-served parts of the City such as East Greensboro. Properties in these areas should receive priority consideration as the City designates and promotes land for economic development. The NCA&TSU Farm site is one such candidate.  7D.3 Promote economic development through public/private partnerships to include government, economic development agencies, educational and health care institutions, and businesses. Build on existing partnerships and initiatives in this effort. Examples include:
 

University-related research and development opportunities with UNCG and NCA&TSU (building on the example of the Nussbaum Center incubator facility)[ One of their primary tasks will be keeping tabs on research at the two universities, in areas such as engineering and sciences, that might have commercial uses. They will look for existing companies that could benefit from that research and explore the potential of using it to create start-up businesses.][1]

 " I am so energized by the potential of this research park, in particular the joint schools of nano technology and nano science. The world is seeing explosive growth today in the commercialization of nanotechnology. We will have all of the assets right here in Guilford County that we need to participate in that explosion, and they will be right here at the Gateway University Research Park." said ("Greensboro Boy" ) Erskine Bowles  President of the University of North Carolina System. [2

Request for Proposals by Gateway University Research Park for Construction The Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering- dated Sept. 1, 2004

Project Overview: 
The JSNN will support established research programs with faculty from the two universities and will have its own faculty lines as well. The primary goal of the school is to be a world leader in research, nano-related education, and outreach. The JSNN will promote Research goals, Education goals, and Outreach goals. To meet these goals, the JSNN will require specialized, state-of-the-art industrial quality research space. These will include laboratories for life sciences, engineering, materials science and other spaces requiring tightly controlled environments.

Reallocated Property was to UNC BOG not UNCG, UNC-GA, or NCA&T  which could only be used for Board of Governors designation Millennium campuses of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University.
 
NC A&T's 2001 amend University Master Plan called for developing 75 acres  of land along East Lee Street targeted to develop new opportunities for both research and education in both the private and academic arenas between the University's technology and agricultural research and its students, which didn't include across-town historical white UNC Greensboro and its members of the Greensboro business community.

These types of collaborative efforts are becoming a more important part of the expanded role for universities.

The legislation states that the Board of Governors may act on recommendations by the President of The University of North Carolina after consultation with the Chancellor and the Board of Trustees of a constituent institution to designate real property held by, or to be acquired by, a constituent institution as a Millennial Campus of the institution.

That designation shall be based on an express finding by the Board of Governors
that the institution desiring to create a Millennial Campus has the administrative and fiscal capability to create and maintain such a campus. Furthermore, the Board of Governors has found that creating the constituent institution’s Millennial Campus will enhance the university’s research, teaching, and service missions, as well as enhance the economic development of the region served by the institution. 
Upon formal request by the constituent institutions, the Board of Governors may authorize two or more constituent institutions which meets the requirements of this section to create a joint Millennial Campus. 
 
 
The term "Millennial Campus" means all real property and appurtenant facilities designated by the Board of Governors as part of a Millennial Campus of a constituent institution of The University of North Carolina .... GS 116-198.33(4b)
 
 
Situation: The UNC Policy Manual does not address the Board’s authority for the Centennial Campus, the Horace Williams Campus, and additional millennial campuses. The proposed Section 600.1.6 of the UNC Policy Manual will define the Board’s authority in support of G.S. 116-198.31.

Adopt Section 600.1.6 of the UNC Policy Manual, Policy on Millennial Campuses

Situation: The UNC Policy Manual does not address the Board’s authority for the Centennial Campus, the Horace Williams Campus, and additional millennial campuses. The proposed Section 600.1.6 of the UNC Policy Manual will define the Board’s authority in support of G.S. 116-198.31
 
Background: The Centennial Campus, the Horace Williams Campus, and the Millennial Campus Financing Act (G.S. 116-198.31) provided the Board certain authorities over the financing and development of the Centennial Campus at North Carolina State University, the Horace Williams Campus at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, and additional millennial campuses designated by the Board at other constituent institutions. The UNC Policy Manual has not been updated to include the Board’s authority for the Centennial Campus, the Horace Williams Campus, or other millennial campuses. Section 600.1.6 of the UNC Policy Manual will be added to clarify the Board’s authority over millennial campus designation, as well as approvals related to issuing debt, acquisition and disposition of real property, capital projects, public-private partnership projects (P3 projects), and other related matters at the Centennial Campus, the Horace Williams Campus, and designated millennial campuses.
 
The policy also includes a requirement for annual reporting on millennial campus activities, including debt issuance, real property transactions, millennial campus real property and capital assets, and status of capital projects.
 
Assessment: The proposed Section 600.1.6 of the UNC Policy Manual, Policy on Millennial Campuses, is needed to define and clarify the Board’s authority for the Centennial Campus, the Horace Williams Campus, and other designated millennial campuses and to define the Board’s authority to approve millennial campus designations and related capital and real property transactions and capital projects, emphasis added. Assessment clearly indicate  Board Governors' failed enact procedures to authorize designation of Millennial Campuses.
