Small biotech company C2 Biotechnologies has established a research lab and office at the Greenville High School campus in Greenville, New York, with the support of the Greene County Industrial Development Agency and Senator James Seward.

The pilot project called the Greene Commercial Center creates a hybrid “innovation center” joining business, secondary and community college education and community organizations in a multi-functional business center/incubator environment at the high school, said Greene Industrial Development Agency Executive Director Sandy Mathis.

“We had this unique opportunity to put this bio startup in the only high school left in the county that has a Future Farmers of America program, and this a nice alternative energy feel to it and it seems to work,” he said.

C2 Biotechnologies specializes in developing consumables for the renewable energy markets. They design enzymes used to convert biomass into energy.
