Is Dell leaving North Carolina?
Tuesday, September 16, 2008
A couple years ago the North Carolina General Assembly gave Dell around $280,000,000.00 in tax incentives to open a plant here in North Carolina and create some jobs. Some people were furious and lawsuits started, trying to stop the taxpayer's hard earned money from being thrown out the window. Dell was still given the incentives anyways, contingent on the factory meeting certain employment and local-investment goals by 2015.
But now the factory may close. Dell sells a lot of computers but may sell many/all of it's factories in n attempt to improve profitability. They're selling more laptops than desktops now and the laptops aren't manufactured at Dell's factories.
So, is Dell leaving North Carolina? Will the Winston-Salem factory close? And what will happen if/when it does?
We'll see...
