BioVenture/Life Sciences Greenhouse Aims to Develop Bioscience Industries
10-Year Plan Submitted to State Will Build Upon Region's Strengths in Medicine, Technology

The prospectus was submitted to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as southwestern Pennsylvania's request for funding for the development of a Life Sciences Greenhouse, one of three authorized by legislation signed into law in June 2001.
