<<NCR confirmed Tuesday it will move its corporate headquarters from Dayton to Duluth, Ga.

An NCR statement said the move would bring 1,250 jobs to Duluth, with another 870 headed to Columbus, Ga., where NCR will manufacture ATMs.

A last-ditch $31.1 million offer by Ohio’s governor to keep the company in Dayton fell short of Georgia’s bid, an NCR official said.

“We did not receive offer until this evening. … It pales in comparison to what Georgia is giving,” he said.<<

And yet, Dayton is still trying to present itself as a viable, growing region. This is also bad news for Ohio, because NCR is basically saying that the state has nothing to offer in terms of tech companies or technological growth.

This is it, folks. The end. Finito. There is NOTHING left. The era of manufacturing-based cities and states officially died today.
