A coalition of regional economic development, private business and higher education leaders is mobilizing to build a global cluster of advanced pharmaceutical manufacturing, research and development in Richmond and Petersburg.
Under a planning grant from Growth and Opportunity for Virginia, a state-funded initiative administered by the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development, the Virginia Commonwealth University College of Engineering and its team this week announced a strategy for the region to nurture and grow an interrelated network that would drive new businesses and job growth and ultimately improve access to safe, effective and affordable medicines.
