Our State & Legislature is so damn stupid and corrupt. Maybe one day they will find ways to incentivize/influence the young educated population and businesses to stay. Repetitive cycle

They have a large location here, but I think they moved HQ to Nashville.

Off top of my head:

Delta
CenturyLink
IEM
Albermarle
Canes
Shaw/CB&I

Bigger than these are all the O&G companies and Banks that had large presence in state but moved out when operations were consolidated to Houston, Birmingham, Atlanta, etc.

Delta and Century Link/Lumen. Both from Monroe. No clue how they could possibly leave here for places like Denver and Atlanta. Idiots

Delta may have left, but they did so WITHOUT the airport lounge/Long-Island Iced Teas.

We came out ok

Yeah but BBR had a big story ten years ago about how they moved most corporate ops out of state.
