More than $17 million has been funded to minimize pre-development risks and maximize return on investment (see below) thanks in great part to the cooperative efforts of the Fort Ord Reuse Authority and the City of Marina.

Physical improvements within and immediately surrounding the UC MBEST Center include full roadway and utility access, including fiber optic capability available to approximately 50 acres of developable land.

The Development Partner's investment on these lands need be little more than the construction and operation of buildings and installation and maintenance of landscaping on roadways within the UC MBEST Center.

A table and map provides detailed information about the completed and proposed improvements for the UC MBEST Center.
