Nestle cancels relocating 200 jobs from Dublin to Marysville, $30 million expansion
Top headlines of the week, Feb. 7 2025
Here are some stories you may have missed on Dispatch.com and in the Columbus Dispatch newspaper.
About 200 Nestle workers in central Ohio can no longer anticipate a 20-minute difference to their commute.
Nestle had been planning to move about 200 jobs from Dublin to Marysville, but the company has “reconsidered” the project less than a year after the initial announcement, a spokesperson confirmed in an email.
The Marysville Journal-Tribune first reported that Nestle was cancelling the planned expansion because of increased costs.
“To best serve our consumers today and in the future, we are always looking for ways to support and grow our businesses in the most productive and efficient ways,” a company spokesperson wrote.
The spokesperson added that “both locations will continue to function independently, with no impacts to their operations or changes to our business at this time.”
Nestle planned a 20,000 to 25,000 square foot expansion and renovation to the Nestle Development Center in Marysville to accommodate the additional employees.
Approximately 155 people work for Nestle’s research and development center in Marysville at 809 Collins Ave., the Dispatch previously reported.
Nestle, a Switzerland-based food and beverage conglomerate, has had a presence in Marysville since 1918 when they bought a milk production facility. The company’s Quality Assurance Center first opened in Marysville in the 1950s but moved to Dublin in 1991.
The annual payroll for the 200 Dublin-based jobs is approximately $14.3 million.
Nestle and Marysville had agreed to a nearly $1 million income tax credit on 75% of the new income generated from the facility through 2031.
