The official selection of Northeast Florida for its corporate headquarters was announced after an extensive search in Atlanta, Charlotte, Milwaukee and Northeast Florida. The decision came down to what was the best business decision for the company in terms of state and local financial incentives, corporate and individual income taxes, relocation expenses, negotiated office space fees and a region-wide business friendly environment. The new corporate headquarters is located in St. Johns County. The headquarters move expects to bring with it 85 new jobs and a capital investment of approximately $4 million.
