World’s largest credit union will invest $350 million in expansion
PENSACOLA, Fla.- 今天,州长瑞克斯科特宣布海军联邦信贷联盟(NFCU)将在其彭萨科拉校区创造5,000份工作岗位和3.5亿美元的资本投资。这使得第二次扩展公告成为世界上最大的信用合作社。
斯科特州长表示,“今天的宣布海军联邦将为佛罗里达州的佛罗里达人创造5,000个工作,这是佛罗里达家庭的巨大胜利。由于海军联邦等公司,自2010年12月以来,我们创造了651,300个私营部门工作,我们将继续努力创造工作,以便每个佛罗里达州都能过着美国梦。“
Navy Federal began operations in Escambia County in 2003 with 60 employees. The credit union currently employs more than 3,800 on the campus. They have added more than 530 employees so far in 2014 and have an annual payroll estimated at $160 million.
“This is our largest expansion in Pensacola thus far. It underscores what we’ve long been saying about this great community—it’s a great place to grow your business and a wellspring of talented people to employ,” said Cutler Dawson, CEO/President of Navy Federal. “Continued growth for Navy Federal not only signifies the strength of the credit union, but also means upholding our high standards for member service. It takes the best to serve the best, and that’s why we continue to invest in Pensacola.”
The project announced today will include the construction of two buildings that will be home to the 5,000 new positions. InApril 2013,NFCU宣布将于2016年建造两座多层办公大楼,以储存1,500名员工。
Navy Federal has created more than 2,100 jobs and invested more than $250 million in capital in Florida as a result of competitive economic development projects. In total, the company plans to employ more than 10,000 and create $1 billion in capital investments in the state.
“海军联邦决定扩展是佛罗里达州和州金融业的游戏。This expansion gives the state and region an incredible vote of confidence and lets us know the efforts we’ve made to improve the business climate here and tell Florida’s business story are working,” said Gray Swoope, Secretary of Commerce and president and CEO of Enterprise Florida. “We appreciate Navy Federal’s continued commitment to Florida and thank them for the incredible impact they’ve already made in the Pensacola region.”
佛罗里达州拥有国家第三大财务和保险集群。大多数国家的领先财务和专业服务companies have established large operations in Florida to take advantage of its global connectivity, experienced workforce, and favorable business climate.
This project was made possible with the help of close partnerships with Enterprise Florida, the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, University of West Florida, the Greater Pensacola Chamber and Escambia County.
经济机会执行主任杰西帕克省表示,“彭萨科拉的海军联邦继续扩大是该地区和国家显着经济转型的证据。该公司对佛罗里达州的投资表明,我们的经济政策正在努力吸引企业并增加工作。由于海军联邦投资,5,000个家庭将在未来十年内有新的机会。“
The project received funding from the Industry Recruitment, Retention & Expansion Fund Grant Program (IRREF). This program is available to the eight coastal counties of Northwest Florida that were most affected by the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
“海军联邦加入了5000名高需求的工作是佛罗里达立法机构通过的石油泄漏恢复法案的一项,”参议院总统唐纳茨州参议院说。赞助法律的Gaetz表示,通过本立法拨入佛罗里达州西北部拨款的3000万美元通过吸引和扩展海军联邦等公司,这些公司带来了将薪水支付的工作平均值。
“今天的公告不仅代表了海军联邦对西北佛罗里达州的承诺,还代表了我们当地的商业社区,”大彭萨科拉会议室总裁兼首席执行官Jerry Maygarden说。“这种扩张将使居民在我们的地区提供更多美元,在本地度过,这将在整个地区的零售商和小企业抵达多年来。”
“When a company like Navy Federal continues to invest in Escambia County, the whole community benefits,” said Commission Chairman Lumon May. “The direct job creation caused by the expansion also translates into more jobs in construction, trades and small businesses like dry cleaners and restaurants. It’s an opportunity for everyone to prosper.”
