Latest developments in the move of NCR from Dayton:

  • NCR announced on Tuesday morning that it would move its headquarters to Duluth, Ga., a suburb of Atlanta. The move means of the loss of nearly 1,300 local jobs and Dayton’s sole Fortune 500 corporate headquarters.
  • More details are expected from a press conference in Georgia this afternoon, where a ceremonial announcement of the relocation is expected.
  • Ohio officials made a last-ditch offer on Monday of $31 million in incentives for NCR to stay in Ohio.
  • After the move, NCR's presence in Dayton will be very small — a data center and local sales and service operations.
  • Many local officials said that NCR had ignored their inquiries as rumors began that the company was leaving Ohio.
  • The effect on Dayton will be severe: “Dayton will take a direct hit on income taxes. It will make a difficult situation worse,” said Dayton City Manager Rashad Young.
  • Explaining the move, NCR CEO Bill Nuti wrote in a memo to employees: "NCR needs to align itself for future growth and drive the lowest cost structure in our industry."
Bad news for Dayton economy and home values.
