Ann Arbor Attractive Locale for Large Companies
Friday, November 21, 2008
Con-way Freight recently earned the commercial real estate "deal of the year" in Ann Arbor. Con-way did a lot of restructuring this year - to Ann Arbor's benefit. They decided to keep their 20,000 employee company in the region and also combined three other US offices bringing scores more jobs to the Ann Arbor market. Their commitment to the area in combination with the scope of the deal earned them deal of the year status.
There are much larger implications here. Con-way's actions have solidified Ann Arbor's status as a mecca for large companies. The local pool of talent here is a huge driving factor. Con-way was looking for workers in the pricing, operations, and financial segments with good analytical skills and our employee base fit their needs. Our central location is also a factor - providing easy access to customers and employees alike throughout the US.
Con-way Freight's trucking services company has a fleet of 8,500 tractors and 25,000 trailers.
