RSS FeedsThe BDA is responsible for maintenance of Brooks City-Base property and attracting businesses and new commercial development to the surplus land and facilities within the 1,300-acre complex. A master plan is being developed for the base that considers the mixed-use needs of future business tenants, the Air Force and the 3,500 workers currently employed there.
"I look forward to serving on a board that promotes the goals of all sectors of the city -- public and private," said Scouten. "I realize the potential that Brooks City-Base has for building productive relationships among the Air Force, higher education and research, which will bring better lives and jobs to San Antonio residents."
As a former UTSA College of Sciences dean, Scouten helped implement three new doctoral degree programs and collaborated with the Air Force and Brooks City-Base to create the Center of Excellence in Biotechnology and Bioprocessing Education and Research (CEBBER). CEBBER trains both military and civilian personnel to handle vaccines, biosensors and other biological products.
