Business Cares: April 2024

In Colorado, 1 in 3 women, 1 in 3 men and 1 in 2 transgender individuals will experience an attempted or completed sexual assault in their lifetime. During April, we recognize Sexual Assault Awareness Month with the hopes of increasing conversations about this very important issue.

“The site location was selected based on a favorable working relationship with Weld County and the state of Colorado as well as the proximity to the current Agilent manufacturing site in Boulder,” Carothers said in an emailed statement to BizWest.  “The close proximity to the current NASD [Nucleic Acid Solutions Division] location allows for both sites to be managed under one leadership team.”
