Major biotech researcher picks Orlando for expansion
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Aug. 24, 2006 -- Orlando will be the home of the Burnham Institute for Medical Research's new center in Florida, Gov. Jeb Bush and officials from the biotech researcher said Wednesday.
Orlando beat out Port St. Lucie in southeast Florida to be the home of the center, which is expected to bring up to 300 jobs over the next decade and, if all goes as hoped, bring other cutting edge research firms to the area as well.
Burnham will continue to operate its main research facility in the San Diego area in addition to the new center in Florida.
The institute's Florida expansion will be part of what officials anticipate will develop as a new regional center of medical treatment and research, anchored by Burnham and a newly approved medical school at the University of Central Florida, and also including a proposed new Veterans Administration Hospital and a newly announced collaboration between UCF and the University of Florida, which will do biotechnology research at the envisioned campus.
''We've got a medical city,'' said UCF President John Hitt. ''This announcement virtually assures the development of a life sciences cluster in the metro-Orlando area.''
The state put up $155 million to lure Burnham to the area, and local governments and private donors will add about the same amount to the package. The money was key to the decision, said Burnham's president, Dr. John Reed, because it will allow the institute to expand its research, which he said could lead to cures for diseases.
Burnham, which is based in the San Diego area, will be the second major medical research center to open a branch in Florida since Bush started a push to lure biotech institutes to the state. Bush's goal is to expand Florida's economic base beyond tourism and agriculture and he envisions an economy led into the new century by high-paying research jobs.
The Scripps Research Institute, which is building a research center in Jupiter, was the first such facility to gain state help to come here. It got a deal from the state and local governments worth more than $500 million.
The ability to be part of a burgeoning new group of life science research facilities went into Burnham's decision, Reed said. He said the central Florida location edged out the one in St. Lucie County because the VA hospital, the medical school and the institute would all be ''within walking distance,'' under Orlando's proposal.
Bush said that even though Burnham chose Orlando, its impact would still likely be felt in South Florida, with cooperation between Burnham and universities around the state, and possibly Scripps.
''This is a time for the state to celebrate statewide,'' Bush said.
Reed said the Orlando facility would allow Burnham to undertake a new focus on diabetes and obesity research, as well as expanding the center's research into cancer, degenerative diseases and infectious diseases.
Bush acknowledged that spending more than $300 million to lure 300 jobs was ''unorthodox'' from an economic development standpoint, but said it would have long-term effects that were hard to measure, including the possibility of changing the whole nature of the economy here. And it will bring to the state more than just the particular number of jobs.
''These are research institutes, and they're going to collaborate with our universities, as they already are, and they will create synergies that go way beyond just looking at this from a traditional 'jobs created divided by amount invested,''' Bush said. ''It doesn't fit that profile at all.
''It will draw private sector investment, it will draw the creative class, it will draw the dreamers and the doers and the kind of people that we need to sustain our communities,'' the governor said. ''It's a much more profound way of investing.''
Reed said luring of one initial intellectual enterprise will bring others, and said that will pay off economically in the long run, pointing to Burnham's base in San Diego.
''In our community for every dollar of grant money that a nonprofit brings in, another six and a half dollars are brought in through latent economic activity,'' Reed said. ''And in our community for every job we create in the nonprofit, research environment and research universities ... another 10 jobs are created in our community.''
Construction of the lab will take about two years, and in the interim the institute will use space at UCF.
Hitt said the announcement, and UCF's ability to work with Burnham jump-starts the university's planned new medical school and will quickly put it in the ranks of more established schools.
''This probably puts our development ahead 10 years or so,'' Hitt said. ''This is huge for us.''
Bush offered a consolation of sorts for South Florida, saying that it would likely be able to celebrate future additions to its own vision of a cluster around Scripps. He predicted it would be the first of many announcements of biotech expansion in the state over the next several years, including a couple before he leaves office in January.
Meanwhile, Palm Beach County commissioners are continuing to negotiate on a proposal that could bring another facility there.
The San Diego-based Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Studies is asking the county for $21 million to put its headquarters in Boca Raton.
The proposal calls for the institute to bring in 189 jobs and build a 100,000 square-foot facility in Boca Raton on 10 acres of land that would be donated by the city.
Whether that center chooses Florida, ''we'll know that relatively soon, I think,'' Bush said.
