I can't imagine the roadway system in BR is helping any of this.
The traffic is enough to make any executives not want to be here

Kings Mtn is about 45 mins from CLT by the way but I do agree. CLT is on a different level than BR.

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

Traffic sucks in a lot of places. You always think the traffic you sit in is the worst.

I've sat in traffic in Los Angeles, Houston, Atlanta, DC, Chicago, Austin, Seattle and many many other places with terrible traffic. Yes, they all have bad backups and you sit there for hours... but those cities also have more people trying to get from one place to another than the entire state of Louisiana has at any one time. Baton Rouge can't get a couple hundred thousand people to not want to kill each on the road other EVERY DAY. It really is sad.

Charlotte is alot nicer city than BR. Visited Charlotte a few times and I can see why they moved. Alot better education system, airport that is a major hub, and better interstate system.
Baton Rouge Area's interstate system is behind the times. One major accident and half the metro area is shutdown. Bigger cities are expanding their major hwy systems.
Meanwhile in Baton Rouge a study to expand the I-10 interstate built in the 1960's has not even started.

So would you say they have more tax revenues to fund roads? Just a thought. You make the same point I make. Traffic sucks everywhere. It is all relative to which traffic you sit in. How many people is irrelevant because LA has way larger interstates and way larger population. The ratio of people to traffic is probably the same.

You missed my point completely... BR is a small city with a large town infrastructure. Its been 10 years since Katrina, so you cannot use the excuse of unplanned growth any longer. 10 years, and you have 1 extra lane on the interstates to show for it...
Sorry for my BRTIOOC rant. Now that I'm away from there, it's just depressing to think how much better BR could be...

Glad much is staying. Why was it necessary?
- The Airport here is a joke, Charlotte has direct flights to Frankfurt where the company has a large presence. From Charlotte's airport you can reach 60% of the nation's population within 2 hours.
- Tax breaks expired
- Wanted to be more centrally located in proximity to all of the plants that were acquired in the Rockwood deal
