Growth at Nelson Laboratories could bring 350 jobs to Utah

A Utah medical testing laboratory is set to launch a $13 million expansion of its operations – one expected to generate more than 350 new jobs over the next 10 years.

The Governor’s Office of Economic Development Board on Thursday approved offering Nelson Laboratories http://www.nelsonlabs.com/ nearly $2 million in tax credits over the next 10 years to help with purchasing new equipment and expanding its facilities.

Nelson Laboratories, which currently employs more than 320 scientists and staff at its state-of-the-art facility in Taylorsville, can earn the incentives by hiring 350 new full-time employees over the next decade and paying them 125 percent of the average wage in Salt Lake County.
