NCR Considered Leaving Georgia Before Moving to Midtown Atlanta
Monday, February 9th, 2015
Financial technology giant NCR considered cutting its workforce and moving jobs out of Georgia before announcing a plan last month to build a new headquarters campus in Midtown Atlanta, just 40 minutes from its current location, according to documents obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
In several emails the day after NCR’s announcement, Georgia Tech President G.P. “Bud” Peterson wrote that the university’s involvement in recruiting NCR “has actually saved jobs for Georgia.”
NCR announced its move to Midtown fewer than six years after it accepted up to $109 million in incentives to move its headquarters to Georgia from Dayton, promising more than 2,000 jobs.
