LEGO is moving its head office out of Connecticut. President of the LEGO Group in the Americas, Skip Kodak, announced on Tuesday the plan to move from Enfield to Boston.
Kodak said the move would support the business’s long-term growth ambitions to bring LEGO play to even more children in the US and the Americas region.
“Boston is ranked one of the best cities in the world to attract and retain talent,” he said in a statement. “This, along with its world-class academic institutions, skilled workforce and great quality of life makes it an ideal location for our US head office. We have exciting plans for the next phase of growth and hope we can retain many of our current team, as well as attract new colleagues.”

Lockheed Martin is eliminating 800 of its 35,000 positions in the Rotary and Mission Systems program, which includes Sikorsky, according to the company.
The company said that the move will be “achieved through redeployments to other parts of the business, natural attrition and a limited reduction in force.”
Additionally Sikorsky Aircraft filed a formal protest Wednesday to the U.S. Government Accountability Office after the Lockheed Martin company lost out on a $1.3 billion bid for the U.S. Army’s Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft contract.
