Drug co. opens new facility

TAMPA — Xcelience LLC will open its second facility today, a 24,000-square-foot warehouse near Tampa International Airport.

Located at 4901 Grace St., the building will be used for packaging, labeling, distribution and warehouse services for the drug development company. In 2011, the company announced the expansion, which included adding 1,000 square feet to its existing 24,000-square-foot facility nearby in addition to developing the new building.

The company estimated the new building would make room for 45 new employees, which would qualify it to receive up to $135,000 in incentives from the Florida Qualified Targeted Industry Tax Refund program.
