For this issue's "One Text With . . . ", we're very happy to feature Rick Sanders, President and Director of Iowa State University Research Park!
AURP: "Hey Rick – What's a new development or project (or what's making news) at ISU Research Park?"

Rick: "The Iowa State University Research Park is in full bloom.
In addition to the wild flowers and native prairie in our 35-acre nature park, we have three new buildings coming out of the ground. Our 18 existing buildings welcomed a new facility in December and two more projects are nearing completion. I love springtime!
AURP: "Thank you Rick - and so do we!"
