The company will let go of 89 workers over a 14-day period in preparation for the plant's 2016 closure, though the company still hasn't told state labor officials the exact date of the closure.

Novartis' campus at 25 Old Mill Road occupies 162 acres in Rockland County that includes high-capacity pharmaceuticals factories.

The Basel, Switzerland-based Novartis announced last year that it would eliminate or transfer 525 jobs at its plant, demolish its buildings and sell the property by about 2017.

Since then the company hired a real estate agent that has marketed the property as a pharmaceuticals plant with all its equipment in place.
