    AJC Might Move OTP

    Decatur Metro | August 12, 2009 | 4:31 pm

    The Atlanta Journal-Constitution may soon only be “Atlanta” in name only.

    The Atlanta Business Chronicle is reporting that the AJC is seriously considering moving out of downtown due to the cost of operating the downtown building and settling OTP (gasp!) .

    Where would it go?

    One strong possibility is Gwinnett County, where the AJC decided to locate its new printing presses a couple of years ago. The production facility is at 6455 Best Friend Road in Norcross, about 17 miles from downtown Atlanta.

    Other possibilities include the headquarters of Cox Enterprises on Peachtree-Dunwoody Road near Perimeter Center as well as a facility along Lake Hearn where Cox Communications, the cable company, is headquartered. Lake Hearn also is in the Perimeter Center area, but inside I-285.

      As some said earlier on another forum…is a name change next? “Norcross Journal-Constitution” perhaps. :)

        more likely The Journal-Constitution. The Telegraph in Macon dropped Macon from it’s name a few years ago despite still being located in downtown Macon.
