Strickland’s spokesperson said Saturdagy that heis “continuing to reach out to the company to have a directg conversation.
” When asked about NCR possibly moving its headquarterds out of Dayton, Maton said the companty does not respond to rumors and speculation. NCR Corporatr Spokesperson Alan Ulman responded to questionsabout NCR’se plans with an e-mail message Saturday that read: “Wde have no announcement today.” In the past, NCR has been quic to deny rumors of its relocationb and affirm its commitment to remaininb in Dayton. The has repeatedlyy sought information from the companysince Thursday, but NCR had not responde to their requests as of Friday evening, a development departmenyt spokesperson said.
Montgomery County Commissioner Dan Foley said he is frustratedx by the lackof communication. Foley said he has askee multiplecompany officials, via e-mail, to respondx to the rumors, but has yet to receivr any information. Foley said he, along with othe r county, state and city of Dayton officials, have met with NCR representativew in the past in an effort tosafeguarc NCR’s local jobs. “All that said, nobod y has confirmed to me that theie statushas changed,” Foley said Saturday.
