The Governor’s Office has announced the expansion of a Greenville pharmaceutical plant that is expected to bring 110 jobs to the area. George Olsen has more.
Specialty pharmaceutical company Mayne Pharma plans to invest $65 million over the next five years at its Greenville site. The money will go toward a new large scale oral dose and solid dose manufacturing facility. The expansion will add 110 jobs to the plant that currently employs 350 people. Salaries for the new hires will vary but are expected to average $60,000 per year, well above the Pitt County average of just over $35,000. The company will be eligible for grants up to $550,000 from the One North Carolina Fund, based on job creation and investment performance. I’m George Olsen.
