The investment will include a new biomanufacturing facility located at the company’s existing bioresource center campus in the Innovation Park.
"For almost 100 years, ATCC has played an important role in delivering credible biological materials that advance scientific research and address the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and spread of disease,” said ATCC chairman and CEO?Raymond H. Cypess, DVM, PhD. "This new state-of-the-art biomanufacturing facility will enable ATCC to expand its resources to meet current and future global health and national security needs and we are grateful to have received this grant to continue expanding our presence in Virginia as a top-rated life science employer.”
To support the project the Governor's office approved an $800,000 grant from the Commonwealth’s Opportunity Fund. Support for ATCC’s job creation will be provided through the Virginia Talent Accelerator Program. The program, created by VEDP in collaboration with higher education partners, accelerates new facility startups through the direct delivery of recruitment and training services that are fully customized to a company’s unique products, processes, equipment, standards and culture. All program services are provided at no cost to qualified new and expanding companies as an incentive for job creation.
