North Carolina company decides to retain headquarters

GREENSBORO, NC (AP) — A company which has been a fixture in central North Carolina for years has decided to stay at its current location and keep the 650 jobs at the site.

The News & Record of Greensboro reports Syngenta Crop Protection said Tuesday it will keep its North American headquarters in west Greensboro and invest $68 million to redevelop and rebuild a significant portion of its campus.

The company, which has been discussing its options for a new site since mid-2019, said its original 70-acre home is the best fit despite looking at other sites in Guilford County, Research Triangle Park and Chicago, among other areas.
