American Express picks Guilford County for $400M data center
Gov. Bev Perdue confirmed late Thursday afternoon that American Express will build a new data center in eastern Guilford County.
American Express had sought a location for a new $400 million data center that would employ up to 150 people.
“The decision today by American Express is great news for Guilford County and for North Carolina,” Perdue said in a statement. “I spoke recently to the American Express CEO, during the company’s final decision-making process, and emphasized North Carolina’s outstanding work force and business-friendly environment. We clearly made a compelling case to land this important project, bolstering our already-strong reputation as an excellent location for data centers, which bring sustainable jobs and significant investment.”
American Express already employs more than 2,000 people in Greensboro at a customer service center.
