ARLINGTON, Va. (WUSA9) -- Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe Monday announced a development plan that will create 800 new jobs in Arlington County.

CEB, the leading member-based advisory company, will invest $149.7 million in a new headquarters to be located in the Central Place development in Rosslyn, McAuliffe announced.

CEB plans to move to its new global headquarters in 2018. The project will create 800 new jobs.

"Virginia has proudly served as home to CEB since its move from the District in 2008. A new global headquarters and investment of this magnitude are tremendous testaments to the confidence the company has in Arlington County and the Commonwealth as it grows its presence internationally," McAuliffe said in a statement.

How are these 800 new jobs if they've been in Virginia for six years now? Am I missing something?

It looks like the typical hokey jobs created-type of accounting for the development project overall not CEB specifically.

CEB Invests $149.7 Million To Locate Global Headquarters-Operations Center In Rosslyn, Virginia


CEB, the leading member-based advisory company, will invest $149.7 million in a new headquarters operation to support the company’s next-generation workplace plans and accommodate its growing global requirements in Rosslyn, Virginia.

The company has signed an Agreement to lease approximately 350,000 square feet of space in The JBG Companies’ new Central Place development in Rosslyn. CEB will be the marquee tenant in the building to be named “CEB Tower.” CEB plans to move to its new global headquarters in 2018. The project will create 800 new jobs.

CEB equips more than 10,000 organizations around the globe with insights, tools, and actionable solutions to transform enterprise performance. By combining advanced research and analytics with best practices from member companies, CEB helps leaders realize outsized returns by more effectively managing talent, information, customers, and risk.

“Virginia has a vision for economic development and they are committed to working with companies to bring it to fruition,” said Tom Monahan, CEB Chairman/CEO. “This Agreement simply would not have been possible without the exceptional partnership of the Commonwealth and Arlington County. The Governor’s office and our local government representatives clearly demonstrated why Virginia is a great state for business. Under their leadership, we are confident in Arlington’s future as a business hub and thrilled to be a landmark business in—and significant economic contributor to—the Rosslyn community.”

Governor Terry McAuliffe said, “Virginia has proudly served as home to CEB since its move from the District in 2008. A new global headquarters and investment of this magnitude are tremendous testaments to the confidence the company has in Arlington County and the Commonwealth as it grows its presence internationally, and creates the workspace and technology for jobs of the 21st century.”

“CEB’s cutting-edge new headquarters in CEB Tower will accommodate the company’s expanding global requirements and provide room to continue its positive growth trajectory into the future,” said Maurice Jones, Virginia Secretary of Commerce and Trade. “This tremendous project ensures the company’s long-term commitment to the Commonwealth, and Virginia is proud to boast CEB on its roster of corporate headquarters.

The Virginia Economic Development Partnership worked with Arlington County to help secure the project for Virginia. Governor McAuliffe approved a $4.5 million grant from the Governor’s Opportunity Fund to assist Arlington County with the project. The Governor also approved $5 million in funds from the Virginia Economic Development Incentive Grant. Funding and services to support the company’s employee training activities will be provided through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program.

“CEB is exactly the type of business Arlington needs as we move forward as a leader in the innovation economy,” said Arlington County Board Chair Jay Fisette. “Today’s announcement is a shining example of how the new initiatives we’ve implemented this year are increasing Arlington’s economic competitiveness and ensuring our place as a leading community for technology businesses of the future.”

Was Terry sober for a change, when he latched on to this company's announcement and tried to claim it as his success?

Terry McAullife is busy creating jobs. Cuccinelli would have been busy banning blow jobs and mandating invasive ultra sounds.

Did he take credit for Truland Electric going out of business? 2,000 jobslost

Of course not. Not a peep on that one.

Weren't you just whining about breaks for business in another thread?

Wait. They paid them $9.5 million to move to Virginia even though they were already in Virginia? This doesn't make any sense. Besides, the money could have been used for better things in Arlington, like 9 bus stops.

Their campaign contributions paid off well I'd say.

Obama, Barack (D-IL) Senate $40,835
Clinton, Hillary (D-NY) Senate $17,475
Obama, Barack (D) Pres $15,475
Kerry, John (D-MA) Senate $11,500
Obama, Barack (D-IL) Senate $2,000
Obama, Barack (D-IL) House $250
Obama, Barack (D-IL) Senate $200
Warner, Mark (D-VA) Senate $4,300
Kaine, Tim (D-VA) Senate $1,500
Moran, Jim (D-VA) House $1,000

Kind of strange... they were giving money to Obama in every cycle all the way back to 2000.

To some Republican too but it'a about 10:1 going to Dems.

It's called recycling. The unions, particularly the public sector unions, do this all the time. The way it works is the organization gets money from the govt. That money is distributed to the principals who then turn around and make campaign contributions. It's all part of the Government-Democrat Ruling Complex.

all i've heard that mother fucker has done so far is throw cash at democrats

and he got handed the torch. he wasn't elected. he illegally "ousted" a sitting governor with false charges. and he didn't send out election notices.

and is inflating the crap out of virginia only in the democrat direction: to a great extent illegals - to keep greasing palms

TWO CAN PLAY AT THAT GAME. you'll be sorry. what comes around goes around

and your fucking democrats to a great extent were drunks and potheads partiers and in legal trouble. stop blaming big business. anyone in the 80's before the "unionized gov" had acceptable work if they weren't partying during the work day

no damn excuse

Even the left is upset with McAuliffe's 'jobs' program. A $31 billion give-away to a Chinese paper pulping company for 2,000 jobs in Richmond isn't going over over so well.

At least we can be comforted by the fact that the Chinese are excellent stewards of the environment.

What is it called when corporations and wealthy individuals give large donations to politicians to get gov. contracts and huge tax breaks?

Business as usual. Same as when the Free Shit Army decides to tear it up one night to get CRA money and EBT, WIC, SNAP, TANF, Section 8, Medicaid, head start, stink fart and all kinds of other freebies that won't make a bit of difference anyhow.

Jobs, jobs, jobs. Fucking democrats!

Fucking Democrats, bring Spongebob McBribe back. This is too much to bear.

So we'll have a presser!

"all i've heard that mother fucker has done so far is throw cash at democrats"

That's the whole reason they put him up as a candidate and how he got into office. His sole job is to prop up democrat candidates and Hillary in 2016 in particular. Everything else is just for show.

We need to vote Hillary Clinton, our governor will have tremendous federal influence.
