Winston-Salem-based Piedmont Triad Research Park (PTRP) (www.ptrp.org) has a new president at its helm. Douglas Edgeton was selected by the PTRP board, with the concurrence of Wake Forest University (WFU) President Nathan O. Hatch and the board of WFU Health Sciences. Edgeton also serves as executive vice president and chief operating officer of WFU Health Sciences. Developed in the early 1990’s, the PTRP has grown to assume approximately 230 acres in eastern downtown Winston-Salem and is divided into three districts – northern, central and southern. Most of the development to date has been concentrated in the central district, where there are now six park-related buildings totaling about a half-million square feet of space. The park is expected to be fully developed over the next 20 to 30 years.
Piedmont Triad Research Park is a CED member.
