N.C. Hit With $250 Million Job Loss Over Anti-LGBT Law
North Carolina is being dealt a quarter-million dollar blow to its local economy after yet another company has opted not to do business with the ailing state over House Bill 2.
CoStar Group, a Washington, D.C.-based real estate analytics firm, has opted against opening a new operations center in Charlotte, one that would add 730 jobs to the local economy. The move would have reportedly meant a $250 million investment in the city, but CoStar announced plans on Monday to move to Richmond, Va., instead. Atlanta and Kansas City, Mo., had also been in the running for the center.
