The University Corporation, an auxiliary of CSUN responsible for providing certain commercial and administrative services to the university, is currently in possession of approximately 10 acres of unincorporated land in Ventura County. The UC purchased the land from the Conejo Valley School District in the second quarter of this year at a cost of $545,000. According to Tom McCarron, executive director of the UC, negotiations are underway to lease the land for agricultural purposes. “We felt it was an important purchase to provide for the future needs of the university,” McCarron said. There is a real estate fund set up by the UC board to allow the corporation to purchase land expeditiously, according to McCarron. He declined to speculate on any future utilization of the land in Ventura County, stating that such developments may not occur for a decade or more.
