Jeff Kottkamp, and The Pizzuti Companies Ron Pizzuti and Jim Russell break ground on Exploration Park outside of the Space Life Sciences Laboratory, or SLSL. Exploration Park is designed to be a strategically located complex, adjacent to the SLSL, for servicing diverse tenants and uses that will engage in activities to support space-related activities of NASA, other government agencies and the U.S. commercial space industry, as well as bring new aerospace work to the Space Coast. The SLSL will be the anchor facility for the park, which is expected to open its first new facility in early 2012. Photo Credit: NASA_Kim Shiflett
