A global tech and biopharmaceutical will build a new facility in Lake Nona’s life sciences hub if it decides to open a manufacturing plant.
Cranbury, N.J.-based Amicus Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: FOLD) is eyeing a site in Lake Nona’s 650-acre Medical City, near the new Johnson & Johnson Human Performance Institute, for a proposed 190,690-square-foot facility, a spokeswoman with Lake Nona developer TavistockDevelopment Co., told Orlando Business Journal. Amicus is in talks with other cities for the facility, but Orlando City Council approved a nearly $380,000 incentive deal Aug. 20 to attract the company to Central Florida.
