This is what America is all about!!!
State incentives will help a global life sciences company create 230 new jobs in south Kansas City.
Catalent Pharma Solutions Inc., which has a 50-employee workforce at 10245 Hickman Mills Drive in Marion Business Park, will receive $2.65 million through the Missouri Quality Jobs program if it meets job and investment targets, said Amy Susan, a spokeswoman for the Missouri Department of Economic Development.
Missouri Quality Jobs allows employers to retain the withholding taxes of eligible employees for a number of years.
Besides the 230 new jobs, the expansion calls for Catalent to invest $30 million in the south Kansas City site.

Based in Somerset, N.J., Catalent acquired Aptuit Inc.'s drug-development operations in Marion Business Park two years ago. Marion Business Park is the former home of Marion Laboratories and current home of Cerner Corp.'s Innovation Campus.
Gov. Jay Nixon and Kansas City Mayor Sly James are scheduled to visit the south Kansas City site Tuesday for a formal announcement of Catalent's expansion.
The expansion news is the latest of several positive economic development announcements involving Kansas City. Last month, Cerner confirmed plans to create as many as 15,000 new jobs as part of a $4.3 billion plan to redevelop the former Bannister Mall site, and Aviation Technical Services announced that it would create 500 jobs at Kansas City International Airport. Last week, Sedgwick LLP, an international law firm based in San Francisco, announced plans to create a new 100-job administrative center in Kansas City.
