Dayton Chamber Reacts To NCR Move

Following Tuesday’s announcement by NCR on their impending move from Dayton to Duluth, Ga.; the Dayton business community offers the following statement:

“It is with sadness and concern for NCR and its local employees that after 125 years in our community, NCR has made a decision to move its headquarters and jobs out of the Dayton region,” stated Phil Parker, President and CEO of the Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce.

“Based on the local mission, it’s hard for me to understand what Duluth, Ga., has that Dayton couldn’t provide NCR; certainly not ease of congestion, cost of housing and living or water.”

“I want to thank all those engaged in supporting an initiative to retain NCR from city, county, state-wide officials to numerous business support organizations like the Dayton Development Coalition and Chamber leaders,” Parker added.
