“We have a tremendous opportunity to gain from and give to this region. We believe workers in the Cincinnati region will benefit from using our technology, some of the best in the world and in line with principles of the Industry 4.0.”
"The Cincinnati region is in an 'ideal economic situation' thanks to competitive state income tax rates, which hover around five percent, compared to nine percent in places like Connecticut. And as momentum builds around projects like the Amazon hub at CVG, steadily low commercial rents will help us compete with expensive markets like Charlotte, Nashville, and even NYC.”
"As Orange Grove Bio has grown, establishing a home base in Cincinnati was a strategic decision that has accelerated our progress. The region’s unique connectivity to leading research institutions like The University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, and many others within a short distance has provided us with invaluable opportunities to collaborate and drive innovation. Cincinnati’s business-friendly environment, along with the region’s access to billions in federal research funding, makes it an ideal location for advancing our mission to develop transformative therapies. We are committed to contributing to the region’s growth and fostering partnerships that benefit both the local community and the broader biotech ecosystem."
