Hoosier State Investments in Life Science Sets $750M Record

By wmadministrator

Over the course of 2010, Indiana drew investment commitments for more than 4,000 new jobs from new and existing life sciences firms, according to information released by the state.

Twenty life sciences companies told the state they plan future investments of more than $570 million and 4,071 jobs, the highest number of jobs and investment ever recorded for the industry by the state’s lead economic development agency.

“Not only is the volume of jobs and investment particularly strong, but life sciences jobs are typically high-wage, which is great news for Indiana workers throughout the state,” said Mitch Roob, secretary of commerce and chief executive officer of the Indiana Economic Development Corp.

The 2010 life sciences investment growth was anchored by Dow AgroSciences’ March announcement of plans to invest $343.9 million at its Indianapolis headquarters and create 577 new jobs by 2015.
