What if CenturyLink leaves Monroe?

Hypothetical situation but CenturyLink relocates. What happens to Monroe?
My prediction is that it would turn into Mogadishu/Fallujah shite hole. Try going to the mall at night.I means it's already a dumbster fire but it seems like CenturyLink is the lifeblood of the city. What do you Monroe Baws think?

I don't think it's going anywhere as long as Blackie Post is still on the board. The current CEO wants out of here, he don't even live in Louisiana. He wants to move to Colorado.

Can it get any worse?

It'll turn into another Selma, Alabama.

Monroe has the university and its the only city of any size for a hundred or so miles in any direction, so it's a regional hub. Losing Centurylink would be a blow but not a fatal one.

If the vast majority of money leaves Monroe I think it can get much worse. That's why I have the Mogadishu comparison

Honestly I’ve seen economies that were every bit as.dependent make it fine.

Didnt they just build a massive state of the art data center at their campus like less than 6-7 years ago?
If so, they likely aren’t going anywhere fast and even if they are they will have some sort of functioning campus with staff as secondary/backup site

Nah, he just acts like it so they can rake the state over the coals on incentives.

I go here every other year for Christmas and it is not far off from that now.

Nope, he doesn't want to stay here in this shite hole state. Blackie has had to fight for years now to keep them here.
