The only questions yet unanswered are where to and when. Doing nothing is not an option as our present facilities are well below government standards. All three of these options are viable and currently under consideration. Organizations like NSSL need to completely reinvent themselves every 20 to 30 years to stay competitive. Under the able leadership of Bob Maddox, NSSL has revamped its mission and garnered the resources necessary to set its strategic direction a decade or so into the approaching millennium.
Facilities are a necessary and important component of that strategic direction.
Our major concern now is that we design facilities in harmony with our mission and strategic goals, not only for the present 20-30 year cycle, but the next one. NSSL leadership invites you to help us think about our next facility.
