I’m excited about Applied Technology Associates’ (ATA) potential to leverage its expertise in precision measurement technologies into new markets and accelerate its growth in the Sandia Science & Technology Park (SS&TP).

My first impression is that the SS&TP offers a pro-business environment and it suits Heel’s plan for growth. Cliff Clive, President & CEO, Heel Inc.

New Leadership
SS&TP Company Leadership Luncheon – The New Mexico School for the Blind and Visually Impaired (NMSBVI) hosted the recent quarterly luncheon. It was an informal gathering for Park leaders to network and learn about the school. The event included lunch, program presentations, and a tour of the facility. The Albuquerque campus, located in the SS&TP, is home to an Outreach Program and Infant/Toddler Program.
