Overview
- UCB, which announced the plan Tuesday, will invest about $2 billion to build its first U.S. biologics plant at Rowen in Gwinnett County, bringing more than 330 permanent jobs.
- The campus will span 460,000 square feet on 79 acres off Rowen Parkway and use AI, robotics and automation for resource‑efficient biologics production.
- Design and construction are slated to run six to seven years and are expected to support hundreds of construction jobs, with CBS reporting more than 1,000.
- Gwinnett County committed roughly $174 million in property tax breaks, fee waivers and infrastructure upgrades to secure the project, and AP reports average pay above $72,000.
- Officials project about $5 billion in total economic impact as the plant anchors Rowen’s 2,000‑acre research community and helps attract more life sciences employers to the region.
