It is a culmination of years of planning that has often been slowed down by a wavering economy.<br />
<br />
Tuesday, FGCU officials including Simmons rejoiced as state and local leaders broke ground on the future site of the Emergent Technologies Institute.<br />
<br />
"It's an outreach from the university to the community and to the local industry and this gives us a place from which to do that," Simmons said.<br />
<br />
The facility - which is being constructed on six and half acres northeast of the main campus - is being labeled as the anchor of the Innovation Hub.<br />
<br />
The 240-acre development, FGCU President Wilson Bradshaw says, will be geared toward businesses specializing in environmental sustainability and renewable energy.<br />
<br />
"It's not only a cornerstone but it's going to be a magnet for other businesses and related industries to relocate here," said Bradshaw.<br />
<br />
The ETI itself is projected to cost around $12.5 million paid for by the state through efforts of the Florida Legislature and Governor Rick Scott.<br />
<br />
"It's a good investment on the state's behalf and if folks consider me a champion for that, it's something I'll be very proud of," said Sen. Lizbeth Benacquisto.<br />
<br />
State leaders say with a focus on the emergent technologies, the facility could also be breaking ground in other areas.<br />
<br />
"The utilization of new technologies in that arena, I think that's going to be focus here and that's very exciting because I don't think that exists anywhere else in state," Benacquisto said.<br />
<br />
The facility is set to open at the end of this year on an expanding a campus that continues to make a name for itself.<br />
