Albemarle's president says Charlotte was the best strategic location for the company because of its larger city feel.
"Located approximately 35 miles from our state-of-the-art lithium facility in Kings Mountain, metropolitan Charlotte provides easy and fast connectivity with customers and colleagues, fostering a collaborative environment and culture for our team," Luke Kissam, Albemarle's president and chief executive officer. "We look forward to expanding our presence in North Carolina becoming an even more significant partner in the communities where we live and operate."

Damn that sucks.
My grandpa moved to br from los Angeles to work for Ethyl in 1965.
Funny thing, he was on a committee to build a south loop around br, and had a quote in the advocate saying "ill be dead before they build a loop"
Rip papa
<------ he was a wisconsin grad

As someone who grew up in south Louisiana, has 2 degrees from LSU and now lives in Charlotte... I can say with quite a degree of certainty that CLT > BTR
And its really not that close.

My understanding is that the production facility will stay.

That's a questionable move considering American Airlines is going to bone Charlotte Douglas.

I used to stay in Charlotte from 96 to 99. My family and I moved from BR to CHA back to BR and I can honestly say Charlotte is 20 years ahead of BR when it comes to transportation, roads, schools, and cost of living. That's why my older siblings decided to stay.
We do have an advantage over them as far as the job market and economy though.

doesn't seem to me like they have been in br that long...anyone know when they located there initially?...

I thought it was known they are moving headquarters to Charlotte. Will have little to no effect on previous locations

Bobby will get them to stay

Fortunately for most of us employed at the PDC, it is business as usual. Mostly upper level management leaving, unfortunate for BR but the move is necessary. The PDC will continue to employ about 500 and it's not going anywhere.

I'm not going to lie, Charlotte was a pretty cool place!
