A deal between Florida’s Palm Beach County Commission and the Germany-based Max Planck Society could possibly create 1,800 jobs for the city.
The Commission voted on whether to approve the grant money in exchange for 135 high-wage jobs and a research partner for Scripps Florida. The grant money is being financed though revenue bonds.
Max Planck, a Munich, Germany-based research institution, plans to construct its first US center, a 100,000-square-foot “bio-imaging” center, right next to Scripps Florida. Scientists and technicians who work for the company focus on bio-imaging in the areas of biology, bioengineering, and medicine.
Construction of the new building is not expected to begin for about a year and a half.
