Medical, Biotech Shaping Westchester's Future

WHITE PLAINS—Thanks to the efforts of local officials and savvy commercial real estate professionals, Westchester County has become a major hub for biotech and healthcare companies in the Northeast. That’s why the sector was the main focus at RealShare Westchester County, held here yesterday.

With a collection of four experts, the opening panel specifically discussed the explosive growth the county’s experienced in the medical and biotechnical fields. Moderator Al Gutierrez, an executive managing director at Colliers International, acknowledged that while there’s still a long way to go in terms of economic development, “everyone is aware of the possibilities.”
