(The Center Square) – Support for “arguably the world’s most successful research park” through federal legislation encouraging investments in intellectual property and American global technology leadership is being led in part by North Carolinians of both parties in Congress.
Research Triangle Park, largest sprawling development of its kind across 7,000 acres with more than 300 companies and 65,000 workers, would stand to benefit greatly from the newest bicameral attempt to pass the PREVAIL Act. Republican U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis of the Tarheel State is alongside bill author Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., and Sens. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, in the upper chamber and Rep. Deborah Ross, D-N.C., is partnered with Rep. Nathaniel Moran, R-Texas, in the House.
