Case study: EDC’s Life Sciences Task Force spurs creation of City of San Diego permit program
In partnership with Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. and Biocom, EDC launched the Life Sciences Task Force in 2020 to better help the region’s Life Sciences sector growth. Amid continued permitting challenges, EDC collaborated with the City of San Diego’s Development Services Department to create a new pilot program dedicated to expediting Life Sciences permit processing—which helped permitting times drop 11 percent after just one month.
