Today was a historic day for Thousand Oaks as Amgen broke ground on a $600 million R&D center here. This investment, one of the largest in Ventura County history, will speed development of new medicines by putting research and process development under one roof.

As a global biotech leader Amgen can locate anywhere – but it chose Thousand Oaks because of our world-class workforce, excellent schools, abundant open space, and safe streets.

I’m looking forward to the scientific breakthroughs this new center will bring, right here in Thousand Oaks!
