The new university facility would be for students over 21 and could also be beneficial to Air Force officers.
"I've worked with Goodfellow Air Force Base and they have about 80 to 100 young officers a year who come on that can't live on the base because there's no housing for them," Rallo said.
The city of San Angelo, Rallo said, expects to receive federal stimulus dollars and may use them to build a municipal court in the area.
"So if you look at the pieces of the puzzle," he said, "we have the new residential facility for ASU for [students] over 21 and some of those apartments could go to Goodfellow officers, some retail, and possibly a municipal court."
