[Economic Development - Expansions and Relocations]

Extremely excited about this.

[New Year's Predictions - 2020]

I think they will announce some ACTUAL retail for 2019, as well as maybe a larger Fortune 50 company relocating to Charlotte, most likely from CA or the New England area.

Someone who knows nothing. Rail lines such as the spine of South End attracted industry and manufacturing. Facing that electrical component trailer was a foundry on the backside and a knitting mill on the Camden side across the street. Light industry and distribution was all around there. No one would willingly choose to live near an active rail line and business eagerly sought such an advantageous location. 
Displacement of brownfield coal power plants? Displacement of mills and their misery? Displacement of a foundry and  trucking warehouse? He is not wrong there.

That's transplants for ya

[Wells Fargo Move]

See the thing is with me, because California is going the way it is, Socialism, Liberalism, etc, I think that eventually the people in CA will revolt against large banks that have a presence their, such as Wells, US Bank, even BofA, and since they have such a strong presence here in Charlotte, being the East Coast Regional HQ, that they wil choose to relocate here. However, I think that might only have a 15% percent chance of even happening.

I still think with Wells Fargo major image problems and issues a huge announcement of a relocation of the HQ to Charlotte to shake things up would be good.  However I don't see it as likely.   The CEO lives in Los Angeles now anyway. But in terms of jobs I can tell  you Wells is moving jobs here quietly and as jobs become vacant especially in California the job is reposted here.   California work rules and super high cost of living continue to drive business out of the state.  McKesson just moved its HQ from San Fran to Dallas and it is a Fortune 10 company!     Wells quietly is building a bigger presence here in the QC don't worry.  

 

[Wells Fargo Move]

Well, since my other topic had already been made, I thought that this was something interesting. I've spoke to many people who said that they think that this would be possible, but given that Wells Fargo's whole image is about moving west, then idk if it really could. What do ya'll think?

I thought this might be worth it's own forum. I've seen this on many other forums, so if yall have anything to add, go ahead!

Belk is no longer Belk. It is an out of town VC firm who probably overpaid for the brand alone. Belk has already closed a flagship in Atlanta, and isn't opening large urban stores anymore. 

 

 

That's unfortunately true. When they closed the Flagship at Phipps down in Atlanta, I knew they had truly went un-southern.   

[Duke Energy Plaza Headquarters | 40 Story formerly Charlotte Metro Tower]

I know this is really off topic, but Charlotte needs to entice Belk to build a uptown store. Uptown has been lacking in shopping since they  closed Belk in 1988, and Ivey's in 1990. Hopefully, just like how Dallas has Neiman Marcus downtown, Charlotte will once again have an amazing department store in its core!
