14 Forward group looks to bring research park to university campus in Killeen
A local business organization spearheading efforts to bring more companies to the Killeen Interstate 14 corridor is making headway on getting a new research facility to be built on the grounds of Texas A&M University-Central Texas.
One of the big goals with 14 Forward is the development of a research park on the campus of Texas A&M University-Central Texas in south Killeen. The Greater Killeen Chamber of Commerce created 14 Forward in January of 2017. Funded by private investors, 14 Forward is a five-year economic development initiative for the city of Killeen and Fort Hood. The name derives from Interstate 14 that runs from Copperas Cove to Belton.
