Biotech firms expanding in Shirley with IDA assist | Long Island Business News

A group of biotechnology firms have closed on a package of economic incentives from the Town of Brookhaven Industrial Development Agency for a planned expansion in Shirley. CD Ramsay Realty LLC, and its biotech affiliates, are building an 18,500-square-foot building on 4.5 vacant acres at 17 Ramsay Road in the Shirley Industrial Park. The $4.9 million development will be adjacent to CD Ramsay’s existing 11,800-square-foot facility. The Brookhaven IDA previously assisted CD Ramsay in 2018, when it constructed its facility at 45 Ramsay Road. At that time, the company indicated it would create 22 jobs at the site. It now has 30 and plans to add another eight when the new facility is completed, according to an IDA statement. CD Ramsay affiliates include Creative Biomart Inc., Creative Biolabs Inc., Creative Dynamics Inc., CD Biosciences Inc. and BOCSCI Inc. The companies distribute various proteins, antibodies, antigens and enzymes to researchers in the life sciences community for clinical research, molecular diagnostics and biopharmaceutical drug development. “The company’s growth has been impressive and we’re pleased to assist them as they expand and create more jobs for our residents,” Brookhaven IDA Chairman Frederick Braun said in the statement.
