GROTON, Conn. (AP) — Three years after Pfizer Inc. announced more than 1,000 layoffs that Gov. Dannel P. Malloy at the time called “terrible news,” the pharmaceutical company and the state said Wednesday they’ve come up with new uses for the Groton site.

Malloy and top officials of his administration and Pfizer said two vacant buildings on the company’s campus will be used for bioscience research and the storage of state data. Pfizer said it will donate a building to be used as a business incubator, drawing entrepreneurs, scientists, startups and growing companies.
