"Citi received about $6.5 million in ...incentives to build and open the [Whitsett] $35 million facility" that North Carolina taxpayers just got fleeced out of

"...Citigroup plans to close the call center that it has maintained in the Carolina Corporate Center in Whitsett since 2004 by the middle of this year...

...employees were first notified last summer that the jobs at that facility would be transitioned to "work from home" positions by mid-2014.

Shovel Ready incentives anyone?

 

Now that physical corporate structures are not as necessary any more,

let's not forget Zack Matheny's advocacy for $1.2 million for incentives like this

for two entities whose principal's contributed to his City Council reelection campaign.

 

...the company expects to still have about 400 total employees in the area after the physical office is closed.

The call center had about 1,000 employees in 2011 and as many as 1,635 back in 2006...

the company last April cut 25 jobs..."

If the GPAC doesn't happen,

we will have most likely done it again on the downtown hotel

for Zack, Nancy H and Robbie Perkins' campaign supporters.
