Novartis has officially broken ground on a new radioligand therapy manufacturing facility in Denton, Texas, located at 2101 Shady Oaks Drive. The 20-acre site, which has been nonoperational since 2009, will serve as the company's fifth U.S. location dedicated to the specialized cancer treatment. The project is expected to be operational by 2028 and is part of a broader $23 billion U.S. investment by the Swiss pharmaceutical company.

The development is supported by more than $3 million in local incentives and a 10-year state property tax exemption valued at approximately $5.9 million. The facility is projected to create at least 150 jobs, with an average salary exceeding $124,000, focusing on high-tech manufacturing roles.
