Chiquita Brands exits Cincinnati for Charlotte at COLUMBUS, jerseys Ohio (CGE) Cincinnati based Chiquita Brands International (CBI) is leaving for Charlotte, according to an AP report Tuesday based on a North Carolina economic development panel that says it has approved deal incentives worth more than $22 million to bring the global headquarters of the Buckeye banana giant. Ohio s loss is North Carolina s gain North Moncler down Vest Women hat button blue Carolina s Economic Investment Committee voted to approve the deal, which AP reporter Emery Dalesio reported includes more than $20 million in state incentives and more than $2 million from local government to bring at least 375 high paying jobs to the Tar Heel state by 2014. State Commerce Department spokesman Tim Crowley said the incentives deal basically formalizes the plan. "This isn t exploring," he said. "Essentially, it s a done deal." According to published reports, members of the Moncler down jackets Women two sided hooded zip coffee Brown committee said the move of Chiquita s headquarters, along with research and development laboratories, will eventually bring a total of about 417 jobs to the area. The loss of good paying jobs like these estimated to pay on average about $107,000 from one of Ohio s formerly great cities now routinely listed among the nation s poorest big cities, calls into question whether new Republican Ohio Gov. John Kasich s pledge to "move at the sped of business" to keep business here and attract moncler tibet new ones is more slogan than product. Is Gov. Kasich s loss of Chiquita the same as Gov. Strickland s loss of NCR? Kasich, a former congressman from central Ohio who castigated his Democratic predecessor Ted Strickland in 2010 for being asleep at the switch in 2009, when Dayton s National Cash Register (NCR), another old, big and important Ohio company pulled up stakes to move to Atlanta, is watching now as Strickland did then the taillights of a company on the move. Candidate Kasich told voters that Strickland s loss of NCR and its 1,300 Moncler Men uire Mens down jackets no hat dark blue jobs showed how out of touch with corporate leaders the then governor was, and that it wouldn t happen on his watch because Ohio, under his direction and with the help of his new century business crew that could speak business and move faster than the "speed of statute," would vibrate at the same frequency as that of the corporate dimension. Meanwhile, while Strickland had his hands full of saving the state from falling further, Dayton s chief economic guru, James Leftwich, a Republican who Kasich hired to replace Kvamme moncler outlet online store when the Ohio Constitution prevented him from fulfilling his duties as a cabinet member, was at the helm in Dayton and should have been aware of NCR s needs and wants. But with this news, Kasich and Mark Kvamme, his long time friend, supporter and campaign contributor who was installed to lead JobsOhio, Kasich s pet project to privatize the state s formerly public economic development service, will clearly have much to explain about why a historic Queen City icon like CBI is leaving for a warmer, more corporate friendly climate. Kasich said the state will only OK incentive packages that "give taxpayers the right return on their investment." In a published report, he said Ohio and the city of Cincinnati put together a "generous offer" for Chiquita after a series of discussions dating back to 2005. Ohio s package for Chiquita was estimated at $6 million moncler outlet chicago to $7 million, a far cry from what North Carolina offered. Kasich said in a prepared statement, "The company has issues beyond what incentives can address. When it s a priority to make sure incentive packages begin returning an investment for taxpayers as quickly as possible, we re not going to be irresponsible and give away the store to try and keep a company that fundamentally doesn t want to be here or which has already made up its mind to leave." North Carolina officials said the incentives were needed to give Charlotte boys moncler coats an edge over Ohio, Florida and Louisiana. Another key factor in the company s decision, they said, was the greater access to and assortment of foreign flights in and out of Charlotte Douglas International Airport. Cincinnati s airport, actually located in Northern Kentucky, is a Delta hub. The AP reported that the main markets for CBI, known for its bananas and bagged salads, are North America and Europe, while its main banana producers are in Latin America. Nonetheless, CBI has management operations on all three continents. Chiquita considered staying in Cincinnati or moving to Louisiana or South Florida, which prompted North Carolina to offer its combination of grants, tax breaks and worker training, a North Carolina development spokesman said. Ohio s loss is North Carolina s gain. So what did Ohio lose? If the company meets its hiring and investment goals Moncler down Men jackets montclar Buttons Hooded black over 11 years, it could collect $20.2 million from North Carolina and about $2.5 million more from the city of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, reports said. The loss of Chiquita, which has been based in Cincinnati since 1987, when it moved there from New York, will be a thorn in Kasich s side for years to come. It should be noted that in 2005, CBI considered moving its headquarters, but decided then to remain in Ohio. This timeline eliminates an excuse Gov. Kasich may offer that this loss was a surprise. Charlotte was publicly discussed earlier this year as a possible new home for Chiquita s headquarters by the company, Dalesio wrote, which has a lease extension running through 2012 on its namesake headquarters building in downtown Cincinnati. With operations across the globe, Chiquita has more than 21,000 employees worldwide. The company this month reported a $29 million third quarter loss due to higher expenses and lower revenue
