• New Jersey's $100M pharmaceutical expansion adds manufacturing capacity (wheninyourstate.com) — Hovione has opened a new 31,000-square-foot pharmaceutical manufacturing facility on its East Windsor campus, part of a $100 million New Jersey investment that will add about 80 local jobs. The company also plans a much larger 125,000-square-foot plant on adjacent East Windsor property over the next decade, positioning the township as a growing hub for advanced drug development and manufacturing.

• New Jersey data center violations renew moratorium calls (nj1015.com) — State regulators have fined a Vineland data center operator $1.07 million for running 62 unpermitted generators, fueling fresh calls for a statewide pause on new data centers that directly affect East Windsor's own expanding facility. Environmental advocates say recent violations and spills show communities like East Windsor bear pollution risks, and they're pressing lawmakers and the governor for stricter controls before more projects move forward.
