AstraZeneca is planning to make a $2 billion investment to expand its manufacturing footprint in Maryland.

The pharmaceutical company said Friday the investment will be for the construction of a new laboratory in Gaithersburg, Md., and to expand its existing facility in Frederick. The investment will create 1,900 construction jobs and 300 new, high-skilled positions across both projects.

The new commitment is part of AstraZeneca's pledge in July to invest $50 billion in U.S. operations. The company has already put capital toward new facilities in Rockville and in Virginia, as well as expanding an existing facility in Coppell, Texas.

Expansion of the Frederick facility will double the company's capacity to manufacture biologics and allow for the production of medicines across its rare disease portfolio.
