As rumored for months, the local office at 6 Mathis Drive off Redmond will be consolidated as part of a new headquarters near Interstate 575 and Chastain Road in Kennesaw. Several other offices also are relocating. All jobs are being retained in the move, a company release says. For the company statement, click Business.
-What it means to Rome: Depending on tax season, CCH employs more than 350 people in Rome. Insiders say the staff learned of the move during a 1 p.m. Web cast today. Workers reportedly are being offered incentives to help with the expected commute to the new office beginning in July. Efforts have been under way for several months to keep the former Universal Tax Systems operation here.
-Work force hit again: Rome already has seen the local labor force see-saw from a high of 40,200 jobs last June to a low of 38,700 jobs in January 2009. In December, 39,500 people worked in Rome. January 2010 reports are due soon.
-Another huge vacancy to fill: In addition to losing jobs, there's also more vacant square footage to deal with. Already, there's the former warehouse off Lavender Drive; Galey & Lord; the Mohawk warehouse off Ga. 53; Florida Tile; etc. You can see some of the locations listed on the chamber's Web site> Click
