New complex to be built by Alexion in New Haven may generate 200-300 Biotech Jobs

"Dr. Leonard Bell, founder and chief executive officer of Alexion, who heads a company with a presence in 30 countries, said he expects New Haven will become a major bio-pharmaceutical hub and drive economic growth here and elsewhere in Connecticut"

"The state has agreed to provide $51 million in assistance if Alexion generates 200 to 300 more full-time jobs by 2017, in addition to the 350 it will bring to the city in its move from Cheshire."


"U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., said the groundbreaking is also “a celebration of individual daring and risk taking and adventure ... It’s because of people like Lenny Bell that the American economy and America itself are the greatest in the world. Risk-takers and the scientists who invest of themselves in new enterprises are what ultimately will distinguish our nation on the world scene."
