Education: Science center pact signed

A construction contract was signed earlier this month for the state-of-the-art Infinity Science Center planned near NASA's John C. Stennis Space Center in south Mississippi. Ground was broken for the center late last year, and Roy Anderson Corp. of Gulfport plans to begin construction on the 72,000-square-foot, $28 million science and education center in May. The Mississippi Department of Transportation is set to begin construction of a $2 million access road to the new center. (Source: Lagniappe, April 2010)
