The Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) Secretary Rick Siger highlighted Pennsylvania's $21 million investment in GSK at a groundbreaking ceremony for the global biopharma company's expansion. GSK's $800 million project, announced by Governor Josh Shapiro in October, will create at least 200 new jobs and retain 4,622 employees while boosting the life sciences industry in the Commonwealth. GSK is growing its R&D (research and development) and manufacturing footprint at its existing Lancaster County operation - building new facilities to manufacture lifesaving vaccines and medications. Currently, one in four Americans are administered a vaccine supplied from the company's Marietta location, which will increase in size and capacity. In addition to its historic expansion in Lancaster County, GSK will retain at least 4,622 jobs statewide and keep its U.S. headquarters in Philadelphia.Speakers in Order:Matteo Leardini - Site Director, GSKRegis Simard - President Global Supply Chain, GSKRudy Rosolen - Senior Vice President, Vaccines Manufacturing, GSKRick Siger - Secretary, PA Dept. of Community & Economic Development (DCED)
