Life science campus coming to Worcester

Worcester Polytechnic Institute and Worcester Business Development Corp. said today they will launch a life science-based campus in the city this fall.

Set to open in September, Gateway Park is an 11-acre mixed-use complex that will serve as a stimulus for economic development and a catalyst for life-science cluster expansion in Worcester and throughout the state, the two said.

More than $75 million has been invested to date in the Gateway Park property, the two said.

The Worcester Business Development Corp. is a nonprofit business organization that seeks to be an innovative and leading force in the economic development of the Worcester region.
