Closed Post Implications
Main Cantonment Area
FLW8

• Park tenant employees register vehicles
  and carry post ID cards (cost
  reimbursable to Army)
• Park traffic can use all four main gates
• Park visitors register at gates
• Same as at a large industrial or research
  complex
• As currently in effect, entry onto post
  is consent to search
• Park tenant employees must obey
  installation regs
• Increased security will be seen as plus by
  tenants

Whats Different from other Enhanced Use Lease
Initiatives?

• Rural area and just land
• Most others urban and includes structures
• Public/Public versus Public/Private
• Lower ROI acceptable
• Shared qualitative goals
• Can transition to public/private
• University-related
• Used university research park experience
• 230 parks world-wide
• Pioneer effort a lot of plowing
• Follow-on efforts easier and faster

22
Keys to Success

• Partnering a way of life
• Mutual respect and trust
• Shared vision
• Mutually assured prosperity
• Flexibility
• Obstinacy and commitment
• Other Peoples Money (OPM)

LEONARD WOOD INSTITUTE An Organizational and
Operational Concept
24
Background

• Established in 2004 by Missouri Enterprise as a
  Missouri-based, not-for-profit, tax exempt
  organization
• Reorganized in 2006 with new bylaws, board of
  directors and refocused mission
• Board membership includes local businesses and
  economic development leaders, University of
  Missouri- Rolla, Lincoln University, and Battelle
  Memorial Institute.
• Based in the University of Missouri Technology
  Park at Fort Leonard Wood      

25
Purpose

• Create and manage a collaboration of
  private business, university, and economic
  development organizations to
• Support DoD and Army Transformation
• Enhance business industry capability to respond
  to DoD requirements
• Contribute to DoD mission success at FLW and
  around the world
• Increase value of FLW to DoD and the nation
• Promote economic and business development in the
  region and state

26
Vision
An organization that develops the capabilities of
Missouri-based businesses and universities to
provide technology related products and services
in support of current and future Army and DoD
programs. The result of this effort is a
stronger technology base in Missouri for meeting
DoD technology requirements and a more vibrant
economy in the region and state.                  
                              
27
Mission
Secure funding for, competitively award, and
manage projects intended to assess, transition,
prototype, and otherwise assist the development
of appropriate technologies and services for U.S.
Army or DoD capability requirements.
28
Primary Goals

• Provide project-based funding to Missouri
  companies or organizations that can solve the
  Armys technical challenges through innovative
  RD projects
• Provide technical assistance and Phase 0
  funding to early stage RD companies that will
  enable SBIR/STTR proposals to be submitted to the
  Army for follow-on funding
• Promote, arrange and manage collaborative RD
  projects involving universities and companies
  that produce military-critical technologies and
  services
• Institute a business model that allows LWI to
  generate income from fees and other sources that
  will ensure long-term sustainability
• Track and identify the economic impact of LWI
  investments and operations

29
Strategy

• Provide funding and technical assistance to
  qualifying companies or organizations that can
  satisfy military RD needs
