Dun & Bradstreet Moving Headquarters Out Of Short Hills: Reports

MILLBURN, NJ — The Florida Times-Union reported this week that the financial data firm Dun & Bradstreet plans to move from its headquarters in the Short Hills section of Millburn down to that city, and that the Jacksonville City Council has been weighing large financial incentives.

According to the report, "Mayor Lenny Curry and some City Council members joined Dun & Bradstreet executives last week for an announcement at JAX Chamber about the firm's plan to move to Jacksonville from Short Hills, N.J. The firm would bring 500 jobs to Jacksonville over a five-year period at an average wage of $77,000."

ROI-NJ followed up with a story Tuesday afternoon saying, "Dun & Bradstreet officials did not immediately return calls seeking comment, but the company previously told New Jersey officials it is not planning to reduce its headcount in the state."

The incentives would start with a $6 million relocation grant from the city, the Times-Union Reported.
