More on UML Senate is key to UML's nanotechnology future Used with permission from the Lowell Sun By REBECCA DEUSSER, Sun Statehouse Bureau Lowell Sun BOSTON -- The University of Massachusetts Lowell could receive $35 million to help pay for a nano-biotechnology building if the Senate approves a plan, to be presented today, to boost the state's economy. “This will put Lowell at an apex of nano- and biotechnology,” said state Sen. Steve Panagiotakos, D-Lowell. “It is going to anchor us as a main research area for nano-bio manufacturing.” The building would hold centers for developing and manufacturing new products with nano- and biotechnology, said UMass Lowell Chancellor William Hogan. Hogan said the building will also house a center focused on “green chemistry” research, which develops products without producing toxic waste. The Lowell building is part of a life sciences initiative in the Senate's economic stimulus bill, Panagiotakos said, which includes $50 million to set up a life sciences development agency operated by the UMass system and $10 million for a bio-processing center at UMass Dartmouth. If the bill passes, UMass Lowell would likely erect the building near the Lawrence Manufacturing site near Aiken Street, where the college owns property, Hogan said. The university is also building two new parking garages. Hogan would not estimate how many new jobs the project might create, but he said that nanotechnology alone will produce up to $1 billion worldwide by 2015. “Even if we got a very small percentage of that, it would be very good for this region,” Hogan said. The building project will cost $80 million, Panagiotakos said, including $35 million in the bill, another $35 million to be borrowed by the university's Lowell campus and $10 million in private fund-raising. Ann Dufresne, spokeswoman for Senate President Robert Travaglini, said the stimulus package will cost at least $500 million. The House's version that passed last month cost about $345 million. “It builds and expands upon the House plan,” she said. Dufresne said the Senate version includes the historic preservation tax grant that was in the House bill, but she declined to give further details on the bill yesterday. She said senators will debate the bill tomorrow. Lowell area lawmakers, including state Reps. Kevin Murphy, David Nangle and Tom Golden, have lobbied for the center for months to bring attention to the project. “This will be an unbelievable boost to the city, the students and the business end of it,” Nangle said.
