The deal exempts Andelyn Biosciences from paying an expected $1.3 million in taxes. The money would have gone to Columbus City Schools.

In return, hospital officials agreed to expand services offered to public school students. 

Andelyn Biosciences, which will be a gene therapy manufacturing company, is expected to begin operations in late 2020.

Nationwide Children’s has played a big role in the gene therapy field and released 20 gene therapy products last year.
