A summary of the meeting?
How about this (the quick answers to the 3 questions I asked the
panelsists originally)-
kinds of businesses--groovy high-tech businesses with strong ties
to local universities to use their engineering etc. grads, just the kind
of busineses every town wants
interest in building/owning at biz park--none, all want to rent.
lease, etc.
impact on Moscow if they stay in town--significant. FSR expects
to add 20-30 new employees, Innovative BioSystems up to 30-40.
