Life Sciences Expansion in Billerica

On Wednesday, April 16, Governor Patrick traveled to Billerica to announce the expansion of life sciences company EMD Serono, Inc., and Merck Serono, both affiliates of Merck KGaA of Germany. The company will invest $50 million to expand its Billerica facility, creating at least 100 new jobs. The announcement comes a week after the Governor delivered a major speech outlining his economic plan to create a culture of opportunity focused on restrained spending and long- and short-term investments, while preparing for the impacts of a softening national economy. "From 25 years here in the Commonwealth we know just how exciting the efforts and the promise of EMD Serono will be - both in terms of advancing healing and growing our economy," said Governor Patrick.
