The board of Atlanta’s development arm on Thursday approve grant funding to help Georgia Tech study a possible expansion of its Technology Enterprise Park.
Invest Atlanta’s $100,000 grant will add to more than $500,000 in federal and Georgia Tech funds to study expanding the enterprise campus into a health sciences and bioscience complex.
The current park is about 14 acres, but the study area will include about 60 acres of property controlled by Tech, the city, Atlanta Housing Authority and other interests.
Georgia Tech officials said the university wants to emulate the best attributes of Technology Square, the complex at Spring and Fifth streets that reconnected Tech with the rest of Midtown.
