RIM chooses Dallas suburb for U.S. headquarters
Research In Motion, maker of the BlackBerry, has chosen Irving, Texas, for its U.S. headquarters.
RIM will add as many as 1,000 jobs in the Dallas suburb, the Dallas Morning News is reporting.
CEO Jim Balsillie said today that “access to skilled people” was the top reason Irving won out over several other cities for the headquarters. Other factors included the proximity to Latin America.
He said Irving did not offer financial incentives and that the company expected to fill the jobs within a few years.
The company’s main headquarters is in Ontario, Canada.
