Drug plant closings leave Puerto Rico feeling sick
Tagged: Puerto RicoPosted on: November 20th, 2007
Cidra, a city of about 50,000, is not alone in its sense of looming dread. The pharmaceutical industry appears to be in retreat across Puerto Rico, long a global hub of drug manufacturing thanks to tax breaks and the territory’s unfettered access to the U.S. market.
Over the past 18 months, five major drug-manufacturing plants either have closed or announced plans to do so, eliminating 3,000 relatively high-paying jobs. The closures are largely a result of higher energy costs, changing tax rules and industry consolidation.”*
