“We are pleased to continue our growth in Lycoming County, which will help support our mission of improving patient lives around the globe. I’m proud of our team members and they work they do every day,” said Gabe Hansen, site director at West’s Jersey Shore facility. “West has been a long-time partner in this community, and we look forward to being able to provide more job opportunities as a result of this expansion and are excited to contribute to a continued bright future for Lycoming County.”
The company received a funding proposal from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) for a $1.125 million Pennsylvania First grant, a $250,000 workforce development grant to train its new workers and was encouraged to apply for the department’s Manufacturing Tax Credit and Qualified Manufacturing Innovation and Reinvestment Deduction programs.
“West clearly recognizes the advantages of doing business in Pennsylvania, and I’m pleased they will continue growing right here in the commonwealth,” added Governor Tom Wolf. “Our strong manufacturing base gave us a competitive advantage over other states for this expansion project. It’s always great to see homegrown companies, particularly a global manufacturer like West, continue to thrive and succeed in Pennsylvania.”
