“A Very Special Place of Development”

Both Bryan Army Air Field and Bryan Air Force Base were major economic drivers for the Brazos Valley region. 

The RELLIS Campus has that same potential as it grows and flourishes in future years.

And like many local residents, Nelson has his own history with the RELLIS Campus.
