January 10, 2025 - Philadelphia, PA
Governor Josh Shapiro and Department of Community and Economic Development Secretary Rick Siger visited life sciences company Adare Pharma Solutions to highlight the Shapiro Administration's success in securing over $3 billion in private sector investments and creating more than 4,700 jobs since taking office. Last year, Pennsylvania's investment in Adare enticed the life sciences company to relocate from New Jersey to Philadelphia - creating 115 new well-paying jobs, retaining 200 existing positions. "My Administration is focused on driving economic growth to create real opportunity for Pennsylvanians. Pennsylvania is open for business, and I'm committed to bringing people together to spur economic development, create jobs, and drive innovation all across our Commonwealth," said Governor Shapiro. "From cutting red tape to launching our first Economic Development Strategy in nearly two decades, we've laid a solid foundation for continued success in the state. Pennsylvania is showing the nation how we get stuff done and deliver real results - and we're just getting started." "Access to a highly skilled talent pool and key markets is critical for us, and the Philadelphia area provides exactly what we need. That's why we're relocating to Pennsylvania and expanding our facilities in Philadelphia," said Tom Sellig, CEO of Adare. "Pennsylvania is truly a life sciences hub, and the Shapiro Administration, along with the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, has been instrumental in helping us - as they have for many companies like ours."
