Scout Motors just announced plans to build their new US Headquarters right here in Charlotte with a $207 million investment that promises 1,200 jobs by 2030.

The new facility will be located in Plaza Midwood, housing the company’s executive, R&D, IT, sales, and marketing positions with an average annual salary of $172,878.

The decision marks a major win for North Carolina—and a sharp blow to South Carolina, which recently gave $1.3 billion in taxpayer-funded incentives to entice Scout to come to the Palmetto State to build a massive manufacturing plant.
