Regeneron has launched a six-year expansion project that is expected to create 1,000 new full-time employees.

The biopharmaceutical company's $1.8 billion projects would see new labs and office space an area the size of 19 football fields.

The project will be constructed in two parts over a six-year period, and work is expected to be completed in 2027.

The expansion is expected to generate more than $283.3 million in direct and indirect, with an estimated economic benefit to New York State of approximately $2 billion.

Governor Hochul said: "The COVID-19 crisis was one demonstration of how quickly and effectively Regeneron is able to deploy its drug discovery and development engine against devastating diseases.

"Regeneron's work has undoubtedly saved countless lives in New York and throughout the United States, and we are proud that Regeneron will continue to create good jobs and invest in the Mid-Hudson region as they work to make additional breakthroughs against blindness-causing diseases, cancer, genetic diseases and more."

The labs and offices will be used to focus on work on treatments like correcting blindness and developing medicines for Ebola, COVID-19, and malignancies.
