FirstEnergy Wants a New Headquarters

12/9/2014

The Akron Beacon Journal reports that FirstEnergy is "considering" a move from its current headquarters building when its lease is up.

City spokeswoman Stephanie York said Akron officials are aware that the electric utility might be interested in moving from 76 S. Main St.
“What we know is that FirstEnergy is coming to the end of their lease, and that their desire is to stay downtown,” York said Thursday in an email. “We are excited that they are looking to stay downtown (whether in the same building or not), just as we are energized about the increased vitality and development of downtown over the past dozen years.”

Well, I hope all you ratepayers are just as "excited" about your electric bill going up to pay for FirstEnergy's contemplated move. Let's see... 19 floors, 900 employees, what do you think that's going to cost? Millions, that's how much!

When I get bored with my surroundings, I simply re-arrange the furniture. How about you?

Being in the place to which many Akron jobs have been outsourced made me think, can we just outsource the pointless exec jobs of Tony and his cronies to a few lower paid folks south of the border?
