Standing in front of the huge American flag at the Navy the day before Independence Day, Governor Josh Shapiro accepted the message of freedom and national security, announcing novel investments in the Wydrzeża working force.
Rhoads Industries, a production company, installation and maintenance, spending almost $ 100 million on the extension of the trail to South Philadelphia Navy Yard with a production plant with an area of ​​95,000 square feet. The novel building will allow the company to speed up its production and equipment for the Navy submarines and will provide access to the pier to exhibition its products.
The state will bring $ 4 million to the company’s efforts thanks to the Capital Capital Capital grant.
“Thanks to the work that is currently being performed, American Navy will continue to protect American interests and develop the cause of freedom from new threats with which we stand at home and all over the world,” said Shapiro about the Rhoads industries and other companies in the southern waterfront before the flag, which moved among the wind in 86-stable fire.
The novel facility will speed up the company’s processes, bring over 450 novel jobs on the website and keep 541 existing full -time positions, according to the Shapiro office.
The state has granted the company over $ 17 million over the past decade, and the company also receives tax savings because it is in the possibility zone.
Shapiro said that Rhodes “creates true freedom” for youthful people in Philadelphia through the “pipeline at school to popularity”, with a three -year payment program for technical education graduates at high school.
Boots Olson, a welding plant in the shipyard, said that she knew he did not want to go to college and instead she wants to work with his hands.
“Don’t get me wrong … This job is not for the weak,” said Olson. (*4*)
According to Gregory Deavens, chairman of Greater of Greater Philadelphia Chamber Commerce Board of Commerce, will bring $ 44 million in the forecast novel payroll, chairman of the Greater Philadelphia commercial council of the Philadelphia commercial council. He called this “changing influence on our region.”
A novel investment among budget negotiations
The announcement of Shapiro’s economic development appears among the ongoing budget negotiations in Harrisburg after the legislators missed the date of June 30.
The governor said that with the divided legislator “the name of the game is a compromise” and that key players have “the level of trust for each other”, negotiating how to invest in education, public security, transport and many others.
“I do not suggest that we still have all the answers, but we are working on it,” he said.
“Here’s what I can guarantee about our state budget; it will be a package of compromises and I work very hard to make sure that financing of mass transit is part of this compromise package,” he added in response to the question about sept after the management of the fighting agency enters almost half of the transport service.
“Exciting development opportunities”
Shapiro visited Navy Yard at the beginning of May to announce $ 30 million to support the development of Philadelphia Navy Yard Greenway District, which aims to introduce production, life learning and commercial apply in this area in the hope of developing the state economy. (He noticed that he was also in the area recently to support his wife and daughter leading Broad Street Run.)
Pointing to the planned sports elaborate, which Sixers chases in the South Philly Stage District instead of the city center, Shapiro said he was “stubborn in the matter of amazing possibilities” for this area.
“I think that the whole section of the quay is ready for explosive growth and I think it is one of the most exciting opportunities for growth throughout the United States of America,” he said.
According to the Shapiro office, there are over 150 employers and 15,000 jobs.
The Hanwha Korean shipbuilding construction, another company based in southern Philly, also increases investments in the Philly shipyard and plans to apply the federal subsidies promised by the administration of President Donald Trump.
Shapiro also pointed to the recently announced partnership with Amazon, and the technological giant plans to invest the initial $ 20 billion in the construction of artificial intelligence centers in this state.
He said that Pennsylvania’s participation in artificial intelligence, like the Navy, is a key part of the protection of national security.
“Like the hands of Pennsylvania Steelmakers [and] Coal miners in Pennsylvania have helped to bring the arsenal of democracy in previous generations, now it is important that we stop focusing on historical books when we were thinking about the role of Pennsylvania in national security and began to focus on the future, “he said.
Pennsylvania representative Jordan Harris, a democrat of Philadelphia, who chaired the Committee for Home Funds, praised the initiative of the economic development of quays and emphasized the joining of youthful people with jobs.
“If you want young people to put down their weapons, help them collecting a welding tool and giving them the future, from which they can be proud, that they can gather their family, giving them trade union remuneration, benefits and retirement that they can retire, in this way you solve a crime in the community of Pennsylvania,” said Harris.
“This is an example of what we need to multiply the entire community of nations, from Philadelphia to Erie, from Erie to Allentown and everywhere between them,” added Harris, a key player in budget negotiations.
