Planning Board greenlights Rubius facility
Renderings for the proposed 175,000-square-foot building at 30 Hanton City Trail will house a laboratory and manufacturing facility for the Smithfield company, Rubius Therapeutics, which focuses on blood cell therapy.
SMITHFIELD – The planned expansion of Rubius Therapeutics continues to move forward after the Planning Board’s preliminary approval of a 174,500-square-foot manufacturing building on 15.5 acres of land off 30 Hanton City Road.
Civil engineer Joe Casali spoke at the Dec. 17 meeting on the expansion plans, saying this represents a great opportunity for Smithfield.
The biopharmaceutical company received major land development master plan approval from the Planning Board last Thursday for the new building where employees will work on blood therapy drugs and drug research and testing.
