principle of the
Comprehensive Plan is to
promote economic
development in
historically
under-served parts of
the City such as East

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

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.]

Millennial
Campus
Designation-
NCCU does
express
recommendation
by President
of The
University
of North
Carolina
after
Consultation
by the
President
with the
Chancellor
and the
Board of
Trustees of
a
constituent
institution,
to designate
real
property
held by, or
to be
acquired by,
a
constitution
institution,
as a
"Millennial
Campus" of
the
institution. |
|
|
|
| |
|
| |
|
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. |
