Montgomery County in the US is planning to collaborate with Percontee to regenerate 300 acres in White Oak, Maryland, as a mixed-use life sciences centre, named LifeSci Village, at an estimated cost of $3bn.

Under the plan, a 115-acre site owned by Montgomery County, formerly a sludge-processing facility, will be merged with a 185-acre Percontee-owned former quarry immediately to the south-east to create LifeSci Village.

Percontee executive vice-president and general counsel Jonathan Genn said the company would develop the site through an affiliate, Global LifeSci Development, and create a hub of science and research that would serve as a port of entry into the US public health market.
