Colorado, Wyoming Ready for Biotech Jobs Boost with Potential Expansions

The American West could see some significant growth in the number of biotech jobs as companies are eying at least two states for expansions.

While the information available so far is vague as to which company may be behind the plan, Boulder, Colo. could see the addition of up to 1,000 biotech-related jobs. Last week, the Colorado Economic Development Commission agreed to provide a “Fortune 500 Company” up to $24.8 million in tax incentives to entice that company into making a capital investment in the area valued at $150 million.
