May 31, 2009
AJC.com: Rumors aboutNCR Corp. moving its global headquarters from Dayton, Ohio, to Atlanta are not being supported by NCR or government officials in Georgia. Neither on Sunday would comment on the alleged move.NCR announced a 900-job expansion into Peachtree City and Duluth in November 2008. The Dayton Business Journal on Sunday reported that local and state officials there are scrambling to discover if the $5.3 billion-a-year company has plans to relocate 1,300 employees and its headquarters to Georgia. Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland, the newspaper reported, had attempted to speak with NCR chief executive Bill Nuti over the weekend, but the two were unable to connect. But according to a copy of Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue's schedule, Perdue and Nuti spoke by phone at least twice in recent months. Perdue communications director Bert Brantley on Sunday declined to comment.
