Yup! Plus they have the leeway to keep their campus exactly how they want it. If you look carefully at the curbs and sidewalks all around J&J’s headquarters, you’ll notice the curbs are Belgian block, which is difficult to maintain. They made a deal with the city that they could have it there if they maintained it. The headquarters was designed by I.M. Pei (or more accurately his colleague Henry M Cobb, chairman of the Harvard University Graduate School of Design), and Pei contributed significantly to a fresh master plan for the city in 1974. To my knowledge, J&J has been a pretty solid partner to the city for decades now and encourages its employees to spend time volunteering in the local community. I’m guessing they probably like being a big deal in New Brunswick. (I don’t have any particular knowledge on the J&J side, just family in urban planning in New Brunswick.)
