University leader proposes Missoula research park and wood stadium
University of Montana President Robert Johns pitched Missoula Chamber of Commerce members on founding a five-lace, 68 acre athletic complex with a private research park on five-acre labs. Labs would employ 25 to 50 people earning 15 000 to 25 000 annually. Johns offered 50 percent admin time to recruit private labs and university would contribute 25 000 toward the effort. He also urged a 300 000 stadium at Fort Missoula funded mostly by the university and community, the wood structure aimed as the world’s first of its kind. The plan would place labs on the south campus and involve private enterprise with university ties.
