Orsen Chief Executive Officer DATE: June 9, 2015 RE: Monthly Report to the Board EDA SUPPORTED PROJECTS RECOGNIZED AT NAIOP AWARDS GALA Two EDA-supported projects were recognized for their contribution to the State’s economy at the 28th annual NAIOP Commercial Real Estate Awards Gala in Somerset on May 14th. Wenner Bread was selected for the Industrial Deal of the Year award for its move from Long Island to New Brunswick, and Sandoz won Office or Mixed Use Deal of the Year for its new world headquarters in Plainsboro. Both companies were approved for tax credits under the Grow New Jersey program. Wenner Bread Products, a Long Island-based company, is transforming a vacant building in New Brunswick into a commercial bakery that will be home to 250 employees once the manufacturer completes its relocation to New Jersey. Sandoz, a division of Novartis and a global leader in the generic pharmaceutical sector, had considered a location in Pennsylvania for its headquarters, which includes 292 existing employees and the expected creation of 70 new jobs; the company ultimately leased more than 154,000 square feet of space in Plainsboro, property that had been vacant since 2013.

  • MHASP Annual 1/04
    Building hope. Building lives. Building futures. 2002-2003 ANNUAL REPORT TABLE OF CONTENTS 3 Message from the Board Chair and the President/CEO 4 Advocacy is a vital thread . Like the leaves on a tree, 7 Programs and Services alone they cast a shadow ... 8 How you can help . together they make shade. 9 Contributors 14 Financial Report 15 Board of Directors/Executive Staff/Senior Management Staff 2 MHASP Annual Report 2002/2003 Message from the Board Chair and the President/CEO Take a young man with untreated schizophrenia, a substance abuse disorder, and no visible means of support. He’s living — if you can call it that — on the streets, sometimes in a shelter. Rejected by his family because they can’t deal with his symptoms, he has no prospects and no hope. Now take that same young man, who last May moved into Homeward Bound’s brand-new residence at 1305 East Oak Lane Avenue, a converted mansion with picture windows and antique-tiled fireplaces on an acre of landscaped property. With help from Homeward Bound staff, he successfully applied for public assistance and began attending a 12-step group, keeping appointments with a psychiatrist, and taking his medication. With his symptoms in remission, he holds down a part-time job, participates in outside activities, and makes time to help other residents. He eagerly anticipates the day when he can move into an apartment of his own. The new Homeward Bound residence for chronically homeless adults with both mental illnesses and substance abuse disorders is a dazzling improvement over its previous location.

  • Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau
    PHILADELPHIA A CITY THAT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF PHILADELPHIA INTERNATIONAL VISITORS GUIDE GREETINGS FROM PHL First up: a few things you need to know about our airport. We’re convenient. Once you’re here, you’re in Philadelphia. We’re only seven miles (11 km) from Center City Philadelphia and 20 minutes by train. And it’s a quick drive to almost anywhere: a world- renowned museum, a corporate HQ, a craft-beer brewpub, and yes, the mountains and the ocean. We’re big. We welcome 30 million passengers a year via 130+ non-stop destinations worldwide. We’re fun. Travel is exciting. So is traveling when you can enjoy 180 local and national retail shops, restaurants and eateries. All surrounded by a collection of Philadelphia’s best art exhibits and entertainers. INTERNATIONAL ARRIVALS HALL We’re now. Two-thousand power outlets and USB ports mean more movie watching. Plus, free WiFi keeps you connected at 1,000+ iPad stations, even at your gate. FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT PHL.ORG Philadelphians love oil paintings, famous declarations, al fresco dining and opera. We also like to think there’s no greater delicacy than meat and melted cheese on a roll. Call it a little something for everyone. So if you’re planning a trip to the States, here’s the deal: Philadelphia isn’t New York (more manageable, less sticker shock) or Washington, DC (more fun, less politics). We are what we are. And what we are is an American city that’s unapologetically candid about everything from street art and historical artifacts to the best way to navigate the city (it’s called shoe leather).
