Final Environmental Assessment of Construction of Emerald Coast Technology and Research Campus at the University of Florida Reserarch Engineering Education Facility at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida

Abstract

Eglin AFB proposes to lease approximately 118 acres to establish the ECTRC. Currently, 20 acres are associated with the UF-REEF. Approximately 98 acres of the parcel would be developed by a private developer for this purpose under the Enhanced Use Lease (EUL) program. The ECTRC is envisioned as a partnership campus between Federal and state government, including the military at Eglin AFB, the private sector, and academia. The ECTRC would be developed as a campus attractive to hi-tech companies paying premium wages to skilled professionals. With military and private sector co-use of facilities and access to University of Florida resources, the campus would create a synergistic environment benefiting current and future missions, research, development, and the communities at Eglin AFB.
