"It'll be one of the first private enterprises, other than housed at a university proper or research institute proper, in the city of Philadelphia," said Lin Thomas, a partner, chairman and CEO of SUPRA / EMSCO. "To be able to bring different pieces of STEM to put it right here inside of a neighborhood I actually grew up in, it's unbelievable and unimaginable," said Shahid who is executive VP of sales and government affairs for SUPRA / EMSCO."This was a blighted area for almost 30 years. It was a dump site. And it quite frankly was an eyesore," said Thomas.
It's something that takes on personal significance after the business's fourth partner died from COVID.
