CREVE COEUR, Mo. (AP) — Stormy weather has kept Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon from attending the opening of a new science and technology research park in St. Louis County.

The Tuesday morning ceremony marks the beginning of the Bio-Research and Development Growth Park in Creve Coeur (KREEV-kor). It will be on the same campus as the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center. The research park is expected to generate 350 permanent jobs.
