Not sure if anyone has any additional information on this, but it will be interesting to see what she is referencing.“When companies need to hear from me, they will hear from me,” she said, adding there was a “99 percent chance” that a widely known company will soon announce plans to locate its corporate headquarters downtown.
The land north east of the baseball stadium maybe?Coyote wrote:If it is a 'corporate village', where is there enough room to constitute the location being considered as Downtown, except for the Shamrock development?
I'd take that over a seldom-used, weedy parking lot. Hopefully its an outside company that will make a big splash with a sizeable new building that will have a big economic impact. Time will tell.MadMartin8 wrote:The land north east of the baseball stadium maybe?Coyote wrote:If it is a 'corporate village', where is there enough room to constitute the location being considered as Downtown, except for the Shamrock development?
No idea.
If anything I would bet on another Gavilon style building.

http://journalstar.com/ap/business/cona ... 14f23.htmlConAgra Foods, Cargill and CHS announced that their proposed new joint venture flour milling company, Ardent Mills, will establish its headquarters in the Denver metropolitan area, contingent upon final application and approval of state and local incentives. The transaction is expected to be completed in late calendar year 2013, after regulatory clearances, financing and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
An office location and operating date has not yet been set for the new headquarters, but the new company is expected to have a presence in the Denver area starting in 2014.
In addition to its Denver-area presence, Ardent Mills expects to operate satellite offices in Omaha, Neb., and Minneapolis, Minn.
Well in that case, Stothert is only partially wrong. I hope it goes downtown, and this might sound odd, but I hope they take office space in an existing building. I would prefer any open lot to go to something that will build up a little more.Omaha_Gabe wrote:http://journalstar.com/ap/business/cona ... 14f23.htmlConAgra Foods, Cargill and CHS announced that their proposed new joint venture flour milling company, Ardent Mills, will establish its headquarters in the Denver metropolitan area, contingent upon final application and approval of state and local incentives.

I'm not sure if this was directed at me for breaking the story, but I was merely providing the info I had from an internal email. Everyone on the board had been watching closely, and I think we're all surprised that Denver was even in the mix.guest2 wrote:Wow, thanks for taking the time to flaunt this on an Omaha board. Your post indicates that we should feel a level of excitement for ardent spurning omaha for Denver.
Congrats on the new company, but it's existence means very little to Omaha now.
And people are leaving Omaha? You do realize the city's net migration pattern has been strongly positive for two decades.
Well, yes it was directed at you. But I feel bad now that I am enlightened to know you were sharing an email instead.
