Bloomington-based Cook Group Inc. plans to spend about $16.5 million to expand its medical research and development facility in Indianapolis in a project that could create 82 jobs over the next five years.
The expansion plans are contained in tax-abatement request that Department of Metropolitan Development staff members are recommending for approval by the Metropolitan Development Commission.
The facility at 1102 Indiana Ave. opened in 2012 and is home to Cook’s General BioTechnology and Regentec divisions.
