just like the railroads that needed more land to expand the lengths their locomotives could reach.....MNKD is seeking more land in Danbury. Below is a post from cphammer on YMB who gave his permission to post over here with his following statement "Have at it Joey, maybe there are posters from the area of Danbury and provide some more background."

We have been told that the plant is expandable
For as long as I can remember the Danbury plant is expandable and would take years to reach its capacity. So this is what's bothering this afternoon? Why would Mannkind be looking to take over vacant land to expand its facilities.
1. Partner believes increased capacity is needed in Danbury or perhaps Danbury will supply Europe as well.
2. Could MNKD be looking to develop a site for insulin production?
3. Mankind is looking to develop a new product or products and want this separate from the Afrezza facility.
The last makes the most sense to me at this point in time, its a big undertaking regardless and to put a plan like this in motion there must be confidence in some kind of Afrezza deal. Kind of like looking for a new house when you just got an offer on yours.
Not sure if there are any posters from Danbury here but I do remember a poster saying they saw the biggest crane they've ever seen in that town at the existing facility. This coincides with a recent article on how the unemployment rate was dropping with Danbury's booming pharmaceutical manufacturing growth. Numbers 1 & 3 are definitely exciting possibilities if nothing else who knows maybe the city will start implementing eminent domain (half joking) ;-)
