The State Bond Commission voted to approve a low-interest loan in support of the company's efforts, according to the announcement. The company is set to retain 1,600 jobs and add 200 new positions.

Plans also call for updates at the company’s technology center in Danbury, its business operations center in Shelton, and its new corporate headquarters, which will remain in Stamford, according to the release.

Pitney Bowes was founded in Connecticut over 90 years ago. The new jobs will come under an expansion plan that will see the company investing $25 million in facility improvements, training and technology into Connecticut’s economy. 

“Pitney Bowes has been a fixture of the Stamford economy for many years, and their recommitment to our city and the state is the very best news. I am very proud that as their company continues to grow, they will be expanding and adding new jobs here in our community,” said Leone.

We are proud that the next chapter for this great company will be written in Connecticut.”

The State Bond Commission approved a $15 million low-interest loan to Pitney Bowes under the state’s First Five Program, in addition to a $1 million grant for new job training.
