AstraZeneca To Eliminate 145 Westborough Jobs
British-based pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca Plc will cut about 145 jobs in Westborough by the end of the year as part of a company-wide reduction.
The company, which employs about 900 people in Waltham and Westborough, said it will provide support to workers displaced from the Westborough manufacturing facility. It also said the Westborough plant will "remain an active site."
Westborough Town Manager Jim Malloy said he's sorry to hear about AstraZeneca's decision, but that the job cuts are more than balanced by the addition of more than 2,000 new jobs in town over the past year.
BJ's Wholesale Club moved about 1,200 positions to Westborough in January, and Bank of New York Mellon brought 315 jobs to town in recent months, Malloy said.
"We've seen a lot of growth in the past year," he said.
