Canon Breaks Ground on New HQ

MELVILLE, NY-The 1.2-million-square facility will eventually house 2,000 employees and is expected to be operational by the summer of 2012.

MELVILLE, NY-Canon USA held a ceremonial groundbreaking Monday at the site of its forthcoming 1.2-million-square-foot North American headquarters here. The imaging giant says the $636-million facility is expected to be operational by the summer of 2012.

Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy says in a statement that the groundbreaking marks “a milestone” for economic development in the county. “It was a long time coming, but the job retention, job creation and multiplier effect Canon will have on the economy will be well worth all of the efforts.”

The Long Island Association has estimated that Canon’s presence could increase Long Island’s gross regional domestic product by $1.3 billion and create up to 10,000 associated jobs locally. The company currently operates out of leased space in the Nassau County community of Lake Success, NY, where it employs approximately 1,200 people. The new facility will eventually create 750 new jobs over a number of years once Canon moves to Melville.
