In early July, state officials celebrated a $49 million federal grant for Wisconsin’s Biohealth Tech Hub, which promised to create thousands of new jobs and a statewide economic boost throughout the coming decade.
On Monday, those same officials visited Milwaukee to meet with students poised to play a major role in that development, filling a burgeoning number of positions in the personalized medicine and biohealth sector.
“Simply put, this is a once-in-a-generation investment for Wisconsin,” said Senator Tammy Baldwin, who publicly advocated for the grant for the past two years.
The CHIPS and Science Act funded the grant, which was administered by the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA).
