In also seriousness... this is huge. Life Sciences is the industry of the future for Philadelphia. Wish we could get city and state leaders on board.

I'm not sure what city and state leaders getting on board means. But, businesses consider many factors when establishing roots (e.g. HQ) in a city or expanding its presence in our city leading to investments from banks and venture capital. Not sure city and state leaders are necessary to swing the pendulum. These businesses go where the talent and infrastructure and hub is formed or located. This is evident in the recent business investments in cell/gene therapy and life sciences sector. Bottom line: I don't think businesses are waiting for our state or city leaders to get on board if they see an opportunity to support, grow, or move their business where they can help their businesses grow.
