Drug Maker Selects RTP For $54 Million Facility
Drug maker United Therapeutics plans to build a research and manufacturing center in Durham County, creating as many as 160 jobs within three years. The company, based in Silver Spring, Md., chose Research Triangle Park after state and local officials Monday promised as much as $825,000 in financial incentives. RTP competed with a Maryland site for the expansion. United Therapeutics, which develops treatments for heart problems, infectious diseases and cancer, plans to invest $54.3 million during the next three years on a new 125,000 square-foot facility.
