Nestle is moving Gerber headquarters to Rosslyn high-rise

By Jeff Clabaugh

WASHINGTON — Nestle S.A., which moved its North American headquarters to Rosslyn, will bring the New Jersey-based headquarters of its Gerber Products Co. to the address, creating 150 new jobs.

Nestle USA currently occupies more than 250,000 square feet at the glass high-rise next to the Rosslyn Metro station (1812 N. Moore St.).

Nestle will get a $862,500 grant from the Commonwealth’s Opportunity Fund and is eligible for a major business facility job tax credits. Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam made the announcement Monday.

Nestle will invest $5 million in the Gerber relocation to Arlington.

Nestle S.A. received millions of dollars in state and county grants and incentives when it chose to move its North American headquarters to Arlington. It also bought 750 jobs from its previous headquarters in Glendale, California.

Nestle acquired Gerber in 2007.

Massachusetts court hears arguments in lawsuit alleging Meta designed apps to be addictive to kids

By The Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts' highest court heard oral arguments Friday in the state's lawsuit arguing that Meta designed features on Facebook and Instagram to make them addictive to young users. The lawsuit, filed in 2023 by Attorney General Andrea Campbell, alleges that Meta did this to make a profit and that its actions affected hundreds of thousands of teenagers in Massachusetts who use the social media platforms. “We are making claims based only on the tools that Meta has developed because its own research shows they encourage addiction to the platform in a variety of ways,” said State Solicitor David Kravitz, adding that the state's claim has nothing to do the company's algorithms or failure to moderate content. Meta said Friday that it strongly disagrees with the allegations and is “confident the evidence will show our longstanding commitment to supporting young people.” Its attorney, Mark Mosier, argued in court that the lawsuit “would impose liabilities for performing traditional publishing functions” and that its actions are protected by the First Amendment.
