Notes: The tax credit was offered in connection with the relocation of Pearson's operations in Upper Saddle River, NJ. Shortly after the award of the subsidy, Pearson announced that about half of the jobs from Upper Saddle River would actually go to New York City, which offered the company at least $13.5 million in subsidies; see (click here) The Urban Transit Hub Tax Credit is also listed in the main Subsidy Tracker data for that program.
