Sears eyes Ohio or Texas for HQ

The Chicago Tribune reported that Sears Holdings Corp. has narrowed its list of possible locations for a new headquarters to Illinois, Ohio and Texas.

The paper quoted a source as saying that a small group of Sears officials visited Columbus, Ohio, and Austin, Texas, last month to visit potential sites for their headquarters. They met with economic development leaders at the state and local levels and were offered offered incentives to relocate.

The company has said they prefer to stay at their current location in Illinois and are working with legislators there to develop a tax incentive package. More here.
