    How might a research park on University of Utah's nonfederal land affect local housing costs and development patterns in Salt Lake City?

  2. 02

    What types of research activities and businesses does the bill envision operating in this 593-acre park, and how would those differ from current land use?

  3. 03

    Should Congress need to formally authorize nonfederal land use for research purposes, or could state and local governments handle this designation independently?
