Jobs coming to Mead Johnson

Evansville Mayor Lloyd Winnecke is promising an “important jobs announcement” Tuesday.

The mayor’s office says the announcement will be made at Mead Johnson Nutrition Company on Evansville’s West Side.

Officials are not providing any specifics, like how many jobs will be added or the nature of the jobs.

It’s also not known if the announcement is related to a report from Reuters that French foods group Danone may be pursuing a takeover of Mead.

Danone is known for Activia yogurt and Evian water. Mead Johnson makes infant formula, including Enfamil.

The event at the local facility will be restricted to invited guests only, including members of the Evansville City Council, officials from the Growth Alliance and the Economic Development Coalition of Southwest Indiana, as well as local news media.
