[Source: Mike Sunnucks, Phoenix Business Journal] — Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon wants to create a “green” college campus just west of downtown Phoenix that would offer university, community college, work force training, and high school offerings in the sustainability arena. Gordon will be in Washington next week lobbying the Obama administration to help fund the green campus via outlays from the federal stimulus package.
The Phoenix mayor would like to see the sustainability campus located near 7th Avenue and Van Buren Street just west of the downtown core. He said Arizona State University and Maricopa County Community Colleges would be the centerpieces of the new campus. Downtown Phoenix already is home to a growing ASU campus and a biomedical campus that features programs from ASU and the University of Arizona. Those existing higher education assets are located in downtown’s core and to it eastern edges. [Note: To read the full article, click here.]
