Backers of a plan to build a university in Payson say they’re “resizing” the campus, but still working with all the state universities to build a campus on 254 acres of land purchased more than a year ago from the U.S. Forest Service.
“We continue to move forward with discussion both with our primary university partner as well as the secondary university partners we’ve been working with,” MHA Foundation chair Kenny Evans told the Rim Country Educational Alliance board last week.
“We’ve been making substantial changes to the footprint of how the university would fit on that parcel. Our architects and engineers are working diligently to get that done in a way that we can afford and ASU can afford,” said Evans.
