Bayer announced plans to build a $2.2 billion pharmaceutical manufacturing campus in New Albany, Ohio, part of the company's broader growth strategy. The project is expected to create about 600 high-value jobs and involve roughly 1,500 construction jobs. Bayer CEO Bill Anderson said the U.S. is a key manufacturing base for the company. Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine and Sen. Jon Husted praised the investment, with Husted framing it as part of a shift toward domestic medicine production. President Trump, who campaigned in Ohio around the time of the announcement, credited his administration's pharmaceutical tariffs for the investment, citing over $600 billion in new pharma investments nationally.
