LexisNexis, a division of the Anglo-Dutch publishing and information company Reed Elsevier plc, recently announced construction on a new research and development facility in Springfield.

*Beginning August 2004, the Commerce Department changed the focus of its reported data on jobs supported by foreign direct investment (FDI). From this point on, all FDI statistics will refer only to companies having a majority of foreign ownership. Prior to this change, the Commerce Department followed international standards of including companies that had 10% or more foreign ownership.
