Middlesex County announces business expansion, workforce career day, paper-shred and hazardous-waste events
Summary
County staff announced a biotech lab expansion and several community events: a workforce construction industry career day (May 27), a paper-shred program (May 16 and June 1), and a household hazardous waste collection (May 17). Locations and contact information were provided.
Deputy Director Nara and County staff announced county business and community events during the meeting, including a private biotech expansion, a career-day outreach event, and multiple community collection programs.
Shaul Islam, director of business engagement, said the county—xpects a local biotech firm to mark an eighth-year milestone with an expansion to a newly renovated laboratory in Plainsboro and a ribbon-cutting ceremony scheduled in March; Islam said he will serve as a panelist at an event on financing and grants. The transcript records the laboratory size as spoken "23 27,000 square foot," which is unclear in the recording and therefore not specified precisely here.
Staff from the Office of Workforce and Career Development announced a construction industry career day on Tuesday, May 27, from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the New Jersey Convention and Exposition Center in Edison.
The county's divisions of recycling, solid waste and environmental services announced two paper-shred events and a household hazardous waste collection. A paper-shred program will be held Friday, May 16, at the county Office of Health Services parking lot, 1 Erickson Drive off Howe Lane in Piscataway, from 9 a.m. to noon. A household hazardous waste collection is scheduled for Saturday, May 17, at the Middlesex County Public Works Yard on Apple Orchard Lane off Route 130 in North Brunswick, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Another paper-shred event is scheduled for Sunday, June 1, at Papenetti Park, 100 Municipal Boulevard in Edison. The county provided a contact phone number for more information: (732) 745-4170.
County officials also noted community-season programming for an upcoming county summer production series; the transcript indicated complimentary tickets for active U.S. military members and veterans would be available for certain performances but did not specify the production names or the exact dates beyond general timing.
The announcements were delivered as part of the staff reports portion of the meeting. Where the transcript was unclear (for example, the laboratory square-foot figure and some presenter names), this article notes the uncertainty rather than substituting unverified figures.
