Dan Dederick The Chamber Is On the Move Business The ss Spotlight Spotlight Booz Allen Hamilton Expansion Set Booz Allen Hamilton has elected to expand its office in Fayetteville, according to Douglas Peters, president and CEO of the Fayetteville –Cumberland County Chamber of Commerce. "Our fi rm had the option of locating literally anywhere to support our work with FORSCOM and USARC," said William Butler, the Booz Allen executive who is head- ing the relocation effort from Fort McPherson to Fayetteville. "We chose Fayetteville and Cumberland County for two reasons — one, the community worked hard to assist us in our search for a viable location, and also we found that the community's economic development partnership with the city and county — al- lowed for a seamless process by which to make our decision," Butler added. "Booz Allen Hamilton represents the pinnacle of fi rms that we are positioned to welcome to our growing community," said Dan Dederick, Chamber chairman. "This an- nouncement marks the culmination of months of effort to ensure that the fi rm has a strong platform by which to continue its work on behalf of the U.S. military and other clients." Local elected leaders have participated strongly in the recruitment of Booz Allen to the area, according to Bo Gregory, Eco- nomic Development Program Manager for the Chamber. "What has made this effort success- ful is that we, as a community, have worked collectively to illustrate to the company why Fayetteville and Cumberland County is the optimal place to do business with Fort Bragg. Our local government leadership has played a vital role in this success for the area." According to Butler, the fi rm will locate in the former Wachovia Bank building at the in- tersection of the All American Freeway, Mor- ganton and Sycamore Dairy Roads. More than 30 Booz Allen Hamilton representatives cur- rently work in the community, both on Fort Bragg and in their new location. That number will grow to an estimated 300 over time.
