宾夕法尼亚州促成CP工业2170万美元扩产 麦基斯波特新增78个岗位
宾夕法尼亚州州长乔什·夏皮罗与副州长奥斯汀·戴维斯政府近日宣布，CP Industries将在阿勒格尼县麦基斯波特投资2170万美元扩建制造运营，新增78个就业岗位；公司还将以新设备升级其钢瓶业务，使产能提高50%，支持销售显著增长。
夏皮罗表示：「宾夕法尼亚州与其他州正面竞争，为蒙谷（Mon Valley）争得这笔投资——我们赢了。我们的经济战略与定向投资一次次向全球企业表明，本届政府致力于让宾州成为全国最适合企业成长的地方。」据州社区与经济发展部（DCED），经州长BusinessPA团队协调，隶属EKC International的CP Industries获得DCED的资金方案：306万美元宾夕法尼亚工业发展局（PIDA）贷款、80.5万美元Pennsylvania First拨款，以及11.58万美元用于员工培训的WEDnetPA拨款。
在麦基斯波特长大的副州长戴维斯表示，当地在钢铁厂的阴影中铭记工业过往，如今一家麦基斯波特公司决定留下来并扩张、创造更多岗位，令人振奋。DCED称，制造业是夏皮罗十年经济发展战略的关键产业之一，该战略旨在帮助宾州在经济发展、创新与就业创造方面成为全国领先者。
Pennsylvania Secures $21.7 Million CP Industries Expansion in McKeesport, Creating 78 Jobs
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Lt. Governor Austin Davis announced that CP Industries will invest $21.7 million to expand its manufacturing operations in McKeesport, Allegheny County, creating 78 new jobs. The company will also upgrade its steel cylinder operations with new equipment, boosting production capacity by 50 percent and supporting significant sales growth.
"Pennsylvania went head-to-head with other states to secure this investment in the Mon Valley — and we won," Shapiro said. "Time and again, our economic strategy and targeted investments are showing companies across the world that our Administration is committed to making the Commonwealth the best place in the nation for companies to grow." According to the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED), CP Industries, part of EKC International, received a DCED funding proposal coordinated by the Governor's BusinessPA team: a $3,060,000 Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority (PIDA) loan, an $805,000 Pennsylvania First grant, and a $115,800 WEDnetPA grant to train its workers.
Lt. Governor Davis, who grew up in McKeesport, said it is exciting to see a hometown company decide to stay and expand, creating more jobs and building ladders of opportunity. DCED said manufacturing is one of the key industries in Governor Shapiro's 10-year Economic Development Strategy, designed to help Pennsylvania win and become a national leader in economic development, innovation and job creation.
