“(It gives me) great joy that the site is in play and it will be bringing jobs to our community,” Bernstein told Crains. “Many of us would have preferred a private purchase, but UM is the biggest employer in our county. They’re the economic heart and soul of our community.”
The university will reportedly create 2,000 new jobs at the site.
Pfizer had 2,100 employees in Ann Arbor, of whom more than 500 accepted transfer offers to other Pfizer locations.
