Construction of a state-of-the-art, 320,000-square-foot biopharmaceutical facility is moving along on Lake Shore Drive East in the town of Dunkirk. Crews were seen Friday placing steel beams at the site. A water line to the property was also recently installed. Town Supervisor Richard Purol says he’s happy with work that continues to progress. An enclosed facility is expected to be completed by the end of the year, per Athenex’s timeline.
