Siemens recently announced an expansion — its second in Charlotte in less than a year — that should bring more than 800 jobs and at least $170 million in local investment over five years. The new jobs would pay an average of $65,000 a year.
The Shaw Group, which also services the energy industry, has also recently expanded in Charlotte.
A nuclear division of Toshiba announced last year it would add nearly 200 jobs in the area.
Fluor Corp. and URS Corp. have also located or expanded their power-plant divisions in Charlotte. These moves should help Charlotte move forward and rebrand itself as an energy hub. This is great news for the Charlotte region.
