History –
In 1990 the EDC received $3.5 million to purchase and renovate the old Bowling Green Mall on Nashville Rd. Before that, the EDC was housed in several buildings around campus. “The EDC is made up of Western’s Center for Industry and Technology, the Center for Local Government Services, the Small Business Development Center, the social research laboratory, the Small Business Institute and Western’s continuing education programs.” [“Center Renovations to Begin Soon,” July 10, 1990]
