About 400,000 square feet of laboratory and office space will now be part of BioMed.

This is fantastic economic development news for the town! More high quality bio tech companies....more jobs...great for property values...and good for the local merchants in Ardsley and surrounding business districts. In these difficult economic times it is encouraging to live in a community that continues to be a sought after community to live in and work at.

It is expected that Acorda Therapeutics Inc will lease significant space in the Ardsley Park buildings. This company develops and markets drugs that improve neurological functions in persons with multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury and nervous system disorders. The company has marketed two products --Ampyra extended release tablets to improve walking in MS patients and Zanaflex capsules, a short acting drug to manage spasticity.
