President's statement on AbbVie's economic development announcement

AbbVie’s $1 billion investment and the creation of 734 new jobs is tremendous news for Durham and the region.

In every conversation that Durham Tech was in as part of this process, two things were clear: the critical role that access to talent would play in AbbVie’s decision and the company's commitment to be deeply engaged in the life of our community.  

We look forward to partnering with AbbVie to ensure the company has the talent pipeline and customized training they need and to having them as a committed investor in this community.
