In Friday ceremonies, Mississippi's first research and technoloy park got a new and expanded name. The 220-acre site located adjacent to Mississippi State now carries the name of Thad Cochran (c), Mississippi's senior U.S. senator and a major supporter of research and economic development. University President Charles Lee (l) and 1st District Rep. Roger Wicker both spoke during the morning program.
