The Jackson Laboratory's plans for a major expansion in Bar Harbor have been postponed because of the recession.
Joyce Peterson, the lab's public information manager, told The Bar Harbor Times last week that the project is suspended. The first phase of the 51,415-square-foot Core Operations Center was set to break ground in September and be complete in June. Plans for the facility, the final phase of which had been scheduled to be done in 2015, include warehousing, storage and office space.
"The new facility," Peterson told the paper, "is supposed to streamline functions that already have a home, so in the current budget environment we feel it is wise to preserve our capital for more immediate mission-critical needs." The paper did not say whether a new date for the expansion has been set.
The Jackson Laboratory is continuing its major research expansion, growing from 36 research groups to 45 and adding hundreds of new jobs. The only postponement is for construction of a centralized materials-handling building.
