Governor Gina Raimondo plans to announce Monday a jobs agreement with the multinational pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson.
RIPR reported the news first via Twitter. An announcement is set for 10 am Monday at the Providence Public Library.
“We’re still working through the details with the company through the weekend, so I can’t say anything more about it,” Raimondo told RIPR during a State House interview Friday afternoon.
The announcement is expected to involve IT jobs.
Johnson & Johnson is based in New Jersey. The company makes a range of consumer, medical and pharmaceutical products.
The latest development follows two significant steps on the economic development front over the last week: Wexford Science & Technology’s acquisition of two tenants for its project in the I-195 District, and Virgin Pulse‘s plan to bring jobs to Rhode Island.
