Biopol Laboratory – a part of the ALK-Abelló Group – is building a new manufacturing and research and development facility in Post Falls. The new facility will occupy 12.5 acres of land in Riverbend Commerce Park in Post Falls, the company said in a statement. The site will be the future home and main office for Biopol Laboratory – ALK-Abelló's largest production site of raw material for its allergy immunotherapy products.

The first phase of the construction will be approximately 68,000 sq. ft. with an initial investment of around $30 million. The facility should provide approximately 50 jobs when completed in 2009.

Biopol Laboratory currently operates out of five facilities in and around Spokane, Wash. and controls a 600-acre farm in Plummer, Idaho, just south of Kootenai County, where it grows a variety of grasses and other plants to produce pollens used as raw materials for allergy immunotherapy products.
