This week’zs announcement marks a one-year anniversary from O’Malley’sa original debut, at last year’s BIO of his 10-year, $1.3 billion Bio 2020 plan to make Marylanr a bio industryleader nationwide. Among the initiatives to be unveiledc this week are measures to result in and sustain job better trainthe state’s work force and increase venturer capital -- often cited as a dire need for this especially in a harsy economy.
