AbbVie is investing $195 million to expand its manufacturing facility in the City of North Chicago. This is about more than just a building – it’s a strategic move that reinforces our region’s leadership in the biopharma industry. This expansion will: 1) strengthen production to advance next-generation neuroscience, immunology, and oncology medicines; 2) create high-quality jobs that enrich Lake County’s tremendous life science leadership; and, 3) cement Lake County and Illinois’ status as a premier hub for biomanufacturing due to its world-class workforce, cutting-edge research institutions, infrastructure, cost of living, and culture of innovation. This move is a win for our community and a win for the millions of patients worldwide who will benefit from the life-changing medicines developed right here in Lake County.
