ROSELAND, N.J., Oct. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- ADP, a leading
global technology company providing human capital management (HCM)
solutions, today opened a new office in Downtown Allentown, affirming its continued
investment and commitment across the Lehigh Valley. One thousand associates will
occupy the new space, which encompasses 243,241 square feet
spanning 10 floors of the new Class A office tower at Five City
Center.
State Governor Tom Wolf, State
Senator Pat Browne, Allentown Mayor Ray
O'Connell, and J.B. Reilly, president of City Center
Investment Corporation (CCIC), joined company executives and
associates during a ribbon-cutting celebration in Allentown earlier today.
"It's always a great day when I'm celebrating business growth in
Pennsylvania, and today is
especially exciting because this project is bringing a dynamic
group of 1,000 workers to Allentown's revitalized downtown area," said
Governor Tom Wolf. "And, while I
certainly want to give credit to ADP for choosing Allentown as its new home, I also recognize
the economic resurgence that's happening in the Lehigh Valley. Allentown is in the midst of a reinvention and
state and local officials are committed to working collaboratively
to making the Lehigh Valley once
again known worldwide as a place of wealth and success."
"Today we celebrate more than ADP's Grand Opening in
Downtown Allentown," remarked
Senator Browne. "We celebrate that a Fortune 500 Company has
recognized that Pennsylvania's
third largest city in general and Five City Center in particular
have much to offer to ADP's millennial employees: first-class
modern office space, a plethora of food and restaurant choices
close by, a world-class entertainment venue in the same block,
walkability, greenspace and unique urban living spaces. There's an
old saying that a city is not gauged by its length and width, but
by the broadness of its vision and the height of its dreams. Thanks
to ADP and J. B. Reilly, vision and dreams have become reality.
Today marks the singular largest commercial investment in the
history of Downtown
Allentown."
"ADP's arrival downtown has made an immediate extremely positive
impact," said Mayor O'Connell. "Hundreds of new feet are on the
street brightening the future for local retailers and restaurants.
ADP's record of community involvement is raising the hopes of our
non-profit partners. Allentown has
been making tremendous strides and we could not be more proud to be
the new home for ADP and its many talented employees."
"ADP's commitment to grow in downtown Allentown is nothing short of transformational
for this community," said City Center Investment Corp. President
J.B. Reilly. "The impact of having
ADP's bright, active and engaged group of professionals based in
Five City Center has already been felt by the downtown's retail,
restaurant, housing, arts and nonprofit communities. Having another
corporation come downtown illustrates again that companies – in
this case one whose actual business is human resources – recognize
that being in a vibrant, urban environment affects their ability to
attract and retain talented employees. This move follows a national
trend of companies realizing the benefits of moving from suburban
to urban locations."
During the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Carlos Rodriguez, president and chief executive
officer of ADP, applauded state and local leaders for their support
in helping the organization create a better world at work.
"At ADP, we are focused on designing a better world at work, and
this new office certainly lays the foundation for us to fulfill
that objective," said Rodriguez. "We want to provide our associates
and clients alike the tools and guidance they need to reach their
business goals and fulfill their own potential. I am incredibly
grateful to the ADP associates in Allentown, whose dedication enables ADP to
innovate and offer the world-class solutions that can help clients
and their employees achieve something greater together."

City Center office houses part of ADP's inside salesforce, which
