The University of Maryland Health Sciences Research Park, which University officials say could start to be developed by the fall of 2003, would create 3000 jobs, according to a study commissioned by Empower Baltimore Management Corp. Jane Shaab, director of business development in the Office of Research and Development, says that the park will be modeled after a larger research park at the University of Pennsylvania. "We like the Penn model because it's a successful university research park with a good track record of neighborhood development. They went building by building and that's what we'll be doing," Shaab says.
