"Medical device manufacturer Tegra Medical has paid $16.4 million for a 120,000-square-foot new building across the street from its Franklin headquarters, the company announced in a Wednesday press release. At the same time, the company is expanding its Mississippi space by 4,000 square feet.
The expansion will increase the company’s overall square footage by more than 53%, according to a press release.
“This is our biggest expansion yet,” said Hal Blenkhorn, Tegra’s Franklin general manager, in a statement. “As large as the space is already, the property can accommodate expansion to more than triple the building footprint in the future, positioning Tegra Medical for a continued growth path.”Continue reading the article online (subscription may be required)

"Craft brewers and the state’s beer wholesalers have reached a deal that would resolve a decade-long dispute over distribution rights centered around when a brewer can sever ties with its distributor, paving the way for the state’s smaller beer brands to free themselves from relationships they may feel are inhibiting their growth.
The deal, if accepted by legislators on Beacon Hill, would apply to almost all of the more than 200 craft brewers in Massachusetts. The one notable exception would be Boston Beer Company, brewer of Samuel Adams beer and the second largest craft brewer in the country.
Sam Hendler, one of the three founding brothers of Jack’s Abby Brewing in Framingham, helped negotiate the deal on behalf of the Brewers Guild.
“I’m really excited. There’s still some anxiety because we don’t have a signature from the governor on the bill just yet. We are anxiously hopeful for everything to play out over the next two weeks,” Hendler said on Saturday."
