Xerox to build in Cary
Xerox Corp. is setting up a Center
of Excellence in Wake County.

The printer and document man-
agement company already has three
North American Centers of Excel-
lence (located in Palo Alto, CA, Web-
ster, NY; and Toronto, Canada) and
the new facility planned for Cary will
be its fourth.

“The opening of our fourth Cen-
ter of Excellence is an essential in-
vestment in Xerox’s long-term
future. This is a new multifunctional
center that will be focused on accel-
erating our digital journey,” said
Naresh Shanker, chief technology
officer, Xerox.

“Being home to a host of tech
companies and educational institu-
tions, North Carolina was a logical
choice for us.”
Making the official announce-
ment Governor Roy Cooper said that
Xerox will invest invest $18.4 million
in the project and will create 600
jobs. “Xerox, which had many loca-
tions to choose from, selected
North Carolina because they know
we can offer the highly-skilled work-
ers they need, both now and in the
future,” said Cooper.

According to a statement from
the governor’s office, because
Xerox chose to locate in Wake
County, which is classified by the
state’s economic tier system as Tier
3, the company’s Job Development
Investment Grant (JDIG) agreement
also calls for moving as much as
$4,108,250 into the state’s Industrial
Development Fund —Utility Account.

The Utility Account helps rural com-
munities finance necessary infra-
structure upgrades to attract future
