The American Bible Society is moving its national headquarters from New York to Philadelphia.
The move comes after nearly two centuries with headquarters in New York and the Bible Society will likely be fully moved in by the time Pope Francis visits Philadelphia this September.
Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter was excited by the move.
"Their presence in Philadelphia speaks to what we've been able to do as a city over the past few years," he said. "That someone wants to be here and bring 200 new jobs."
The Bible Society will lease office space on 5th and Market and will likely team up locally with the Philadelphia Bible Society, which has been located on 7th and Walnut for over 160 years.
