In March, UCB announced its selection of Gwinnett County as the site of its first U.S. pharmaceutical biologics manufacturing facility. At a planned $2 billion investment, this is the largest capital investment in Gwinnett County’s history. It is expected to generate 1,000 temporary construction jobs, more than 330 permanent jobs, and an estimated $5 billion in total economic impact.
To prepare for future growth in this area, Gwinnett County is making mobility enhancements and coordinating with the state to improve traffic flow on State Route 316, as well as developing plans to scale emergency services and public safety response. The County will continue to review the areas surrounding Rowen to encourage residential and commercial uses and preserve areas that are predominantly rural in nature.
