NCR Corp. is transferring a business headquarters and 40 to 50 local jobs to Peachtree City, Ga., the company said Tuesday, Oct. 28.

The moves involves no local layoffs, Russell said. Employees currently in those positions will be given the "option" of moving to Peachtree City, southwest of Atlanta, she said. Those employees work today with NCR's world headquarters on South Patterson Boulevard in Dayton.

Additionally, NCR's Worldwide Customer Services business headquarters will move from Dayton to Georgia, the state said. Georgia government required that the headquarters be moved from Ohio in exchange for incentives to NCR, Russell said.

Those incentives included a $8 million grant and other tax credits based on number of jobs created and real estate tax credits, Russell said.

After the election, Ohio is going to be the most important state in the country, and, frankly, we need to get our shit together. I say this as an educator, small business owner, and librarian. How pathetic. And they haven't even changed their home page, but, oh, it so telling.
