Rockville Ranks 6th among Safest Cities in Maryland for 2025

Posted on by Nya Justis

Rockville Makes Safewise's "Maryland's Safest Cities of 2025" List

Rockville continues to earn recognition as one of Maryland’s most desirable places to live, this time for its safety. According to SafeWise’s 2025 Safest Cities Report, Rockville is ranked the 6th safest city in Maryland.

SafeWise evaluates cities across the country based on the latest FBI crime statistics and population data. The rankings are determined by analyzing violent crime and property crime rates per 1,000 residents, offering a comparison of safe communities across the nation. This year, 28 Maryland cities met the criteria for evaluation.

Rockville’s inclusion on SafeWise’s list is a result of its strong public safety efforts, well-maintained neighborhoods, and community-oriented policing. While Maryland remains one of the most concerned states when it comes to gun violence, SafeWise found that overall crime rates—including violent crime and property crime—are on the decline, with Rockville leading in that positive trend.

In its 11th year of rankings, SafeWise named the top five safest cities in Maryland as Ocean Pines, Frostburg, Thurmont, Brunswick, and Hampstead—with Rockville close behind at number six.

As a thriving hub for families, businesses, and professionals, Rockville continues to balance its growth with a strong commitment to safety and quality of life.

USP announces new Advanced Technologies Laboratory to accelerate and scale pharmaceutical manufacturing innovations

Lab will help enable broader adoption of advanced manufacturing technologies and state-of-the-art quality solutions

Rockville, MD – June 4, 2025 – The U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) announced today the opening of its Advanced Technologies Laboratory in Rockville, Maryland. USP will use this lab, and related solutions and expertise, to develop, pilot, and scale innovations that foster more efficient and expanded production of quality medicines for stronger and more secure supply chains. 

The lab expands USP capabilities to help manufacturers overcome barriers in the adoption of advanced manufacturing technologies by developing new approaches and processes for flow chemistry and additive manufacturing coupled with advanced analytical techniques such as process analytical technologies (PAT) that can enable real-time quality monitoring. The lab will also support development of alternative and novel synthetic routes to produce active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and key starting materials. Taken together, these capabilities are essential in efforts to create stronger supply chains through strategic onshoring, distributed manufacturing, and personalized medicine. 

“Advanced manufacturing technologies make possible the responsive, distributed manufacturing and onshoring strategies that make our medicine supply chains more secure and reliable. But adoption at commercial scale can be challenging, especially for generic manufacturers,” said Ronald T. Piervincenzi, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of USP. “The Advanced Technologies Lab will help launch and scale innovations that get products to patients more efficiently, while strengthening our medicine supply chains.” 

USP offers end-to-end supply chain analytics and solutions– from chemical precursors to finished pharmaceutical products. Accurate, comprehensive mapping of the medicines supply chain helps identify supply chain risks, such as over consolidation, and pinpoints opportunities for intervention. The Advanced Technologies Lab will help industry and regulators accelerate the adoption of new technologies that help to mitigate supply chain risks and, where appropriate, establish guidance that supports regulatory predictability, process efficiencies, and faster time to market, all of which can strengthen domestic manufacturing capabilities. 

“The Advanced Technologies Lab exemplifies USP’s commitment to advancing efficient, quality, and sustainable pharmaceutical manufacturing through the application of cutting-edge technologies,” said Emily Kaine, SVP of Global Health and Manufacturing Services. “USP’s unique capabilities and decades of expertise can help overcome the barriers that have limited the adoption of advanced manufacturing technologies. Doing so will help ensure that the medicines people rely on for health are available when and where they’re needed.” 

USP currently operates more than 70,000 square feet of laboratory space across sites in the U.S. and India. USP labs provide unparalleled expertise in developing quality and process standards, establishing and validating analytical methods, characterizing impurities, and synthesizing organic compounds. The Advanced Technologies Lab is the latest of USP’s investments in advanced manufacturing technologies. USP plans to continue expanding its advanced technology footprint into an additional 8,000 square foot laboratory in 2026.   

About US Pharmacopeia

USP is an independent scientific organization that collaborates with the world’s top experts in health and science to develop quality resources and standards for medicines, dietary supplements, and food ingredients. Through our resources, standards, advocacy and education, USP helps increase the availability of quality medicines, supplements and foods for billions of people worldwide.

AstraZeneca Opens $300 Million Cell Therapy Manufacturing Facility in Montgomery County

Posted on by Nya Justis

New Facility in Rockville Will Produce Cutting-Edge Cancer Treatments and Create More Than 150 High-Quality Jobs

Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich joined global biopharmaceutical company AstraZeneca and local leaders on Monday to celebrate the opening of a new $300 million advanced manufacturing facility in Rockville. The facility will produce CAR-T cell therapies—personalized treatments that are transforming how cancer is treated around the world.

“This facility represents exactly the kind of investment we want to support,” said County Executive Marc Elrich. “It will save lives, create high-quality jobs, and strengthen Montgomery County’s place as one of the nation’s top bio-life sciences hubs. We’re proud to have helped make it happen.”

The 84,000-square-foot facility, located at 9950 Medical Center Drive, is part of AstraZeneca’s $3.5 billion national investment in research and manufacturing. It will support clinical trials and future commercial production of cell therapies—treatments designed to re-engineer a patient’s own immune cells to fight disease.

“AstraZeneca’s new facility in Rockville is a testament to Montgomery County’s leadership in the life sciences industry,” said Elana Fine, MCEDC Board Chair. “This investment highlights the county’s commitment to advancing healthcare and fostering innovation, while bolstering the local economy. We look forward to continuing to support them as they settle into the new facility.” 

Montgomery County’s and State of Maryland support included:

  • $100,000 in targeted economic development incentives from Montgomery County.
  • Additional $500,000 in support from the Maryland Department of Commerce.
  • Job creation tax credits that take effect upon new employees being hired.
  • Coordination through the Department of Permitting Services (DPS) to accelerate approvals and meet an aggressive construction timeline.

“What makes this effort different is the precision and purpose behind it,” Elrich said. “The County and State made targeted investments tied to good jobs and groundbreaking science. That’s the kind of economic development we should all be proud of. Montgomery County continues to be a place where science, talent, and infrastructure come together. We’ve built a strong ecosystem—from startups to global companies—and we’re going to keep growing it.”

The facility is expected to create more than 150 skilled jobs in the region. AstraZeneca already employs more than 4,500 workers in Montgomery County across multiple sites, including its 1.3 million-square-foot Gaithersburg campus.

The County’s Department of Permitting Services worked closely with AstraZeneca and development partners to speed up permitting and inspections—enabling the project to open months ahead of schedule.

This announcement adds to a series of major bio-life sciences wins in Montgomery County, including:

County Executive Elrich will be promoting all of the County’s bio and life science success stories next month at the BIO International Convention in Boston, where he will meet with companies and organizations exploring new locations for expansion and collaboration.

World Health Organization deploys PharmaJet’s needle-free injection system, Tropis, in polio eradication campaign

PharmaJet Tropis® Needle-free Delivery System used to immunize an additional 1.5 million children in latest WHO campaign.

GOLDEN, Co., March 13, 2025–(BUSINESS WIRE)–PharmaJet®, a company that strives to improve the performance and outcomes of injectables with its enabling needle-free injection technology, today announced that their Tropis intradermal (ID) delivery system was used in the latest World Health Organization’s (WHO) polio eradication campaign in Pakistan in February 2025. The supplemental immunization activity (SIA) campaign for children between 4 and 59 months of age was implemented in two regions in the Quetta block (Pishin, Quetta, Kila Abdullah, and Chaman) and Karachi (Central Karachi, East, East-Gujro, Keamari, Korangi, Malir, and West). Tropis was used to deliver fractional dose inactivated polio vaccine (fIPV) in parallel to oral polio vaccine (OPV) administration as part of a WHO recommended strategy to boost humoral immunity.

Evidence from Tropis use in poliovirus campaigns and routine immunization in Pakistan,1 Somalia,2 and Nigeria,3 demonstrated improved coverage, acceptability, speed of administration, and cost savings. Previous WHO campaigns that vaccinated over 10 million children in Pakistan and Somalia showed that Tropis is an effective and preferred solution for polio immunization campaigns that can help increase campaign coverage by over 18%.1 In addition, a recent randomized controlled implementation study in Nigeria4 demonstrated that among those vaccinated with Tropis, IPV2 coverage was more than 11% higher compared to those treated with the Standard of Care (SoC). The study team also found potential for up to 47% decrease in total immunization costs and 95% of healthcare workers expressed a preference for Tropis compared with the SoC. Tropis is the first and only needle-free ID delivery technology to achieve WHO prequalification.

“We are pleased to continue our partnership with the World Health Organization to eradicate polio,” said Paul LaBarre, Vice President Global Business Development, PharmaJet. “The Tropis needle-free system has been shown to be very effective and affordable in campaigns and routine immunizations, protecting nearly 12 million children against poliovirus. There is still a lot of work to do, and we are committed to achieving eradication goals so that no child suffers from paralytic polio.”

Montgomery County Government, State and Local Partners Announce Coalition to Support Maryland Businesses and Employees Affected by Federal Budget Cuts

Posted on by Amanda Bosland

This Public-Private Initiative will include the launch of a microsite compiling a list of resources and tools available to businesses and employees.

Montgomery County, Md., Mar. 24, 2025 – Montgomery County officials and key partners announced the formation of a strategic Public-Private initiative aimed at strengthening the local economy and supporting local businesses and employees affected by recent federal budget cuts. 

The coalition, Mobilize Montgomery, includes Montgomery County Government, Maryland Department of Labor, WorkSource Montgomery, Montgomery County Economic Development Corporation, Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce, the City of Gaithersburg, the City of Rockville,  Rockville Chamber of Commerce, the Maryland Women’s Business Center and Rockville Economic Development, Inc, as well as additional local chambers. 

“Montgomery County has long been home to thousands of federal workers and businesses that rely on federal contracts, and in this time of cuts and chaos from the federal government, those impacts can ripple through our economy,” said County Executive Marc Elrich. “Through Mobilize Montgomery, we are collaborating with private and public partners to provide resources and information to our residents. We are working together to help businesses stay open, keep people employed, and strengthen our local economy.”

Through its newly created microsite, www.mobilize-montgomery.com, the coalition will serve as a centralized resource hub ensuring that businesses, employees, and residents have access to critical information and support they need during this challenging time. Designed to be a one-stop shop for resources, the microsite will feature webinars, job posting websites and business incentives available to the public. Additionally, the microsite will allow local businesses to express their interest in participating in relevant events, as well as give interested employees the option of being notified of updated resources and upcoming events. 

“The drastic federal funding cuts and layoffs from the Trump Administration are directly impacting our residents and forcing contractors and small businesses to scrap projects and announce layoffs due to unpaid invoices and the elimination of federal support,” said Montgomery County Council President Kate Stewart. “Montgomery County is home to more than 77,000 dedicated and hard-working federal employees, and County leaders are committed to supporting our residents, federal contractors, and businesses during these uncertain and economically challenging times. This new collaboration among government and business leaders and workforce development organizations will provide guidance, resources, and support to help deal with the impact that these draconian federal cuts are having on our federal contractors and local businesses that fuel our economic engine.”

As Montgomery County braces for additional federal budget cuts, Mobilize Montgomery is committed to working with Maryland Governor Wes Moore to provide support to our businesses and workforce, ensuring that Maryland’s economy remains resilient and vibrant.
