Today NC Governor Cooper, Charlotte Mayor Lyles, and other community leaders made one of the biggest job announcements in our states’ history.
Centene, a multi-national healthcare enterprise, will be spending over $1 billion to build a massive new headquarters here in Charlotte, which will bring over 3,000 new jobs to our region.
“We chose Charlotte as the home to our East Coast headquarters because we believe it will enable us to continue our strong growth and our mission to serve the most vulnerable populations,” said Michael F. Neidorff, Chairman, President and CEO of Centene. “We look forward to our future in Charlotte and intend to be a strong part of the community, as we are in all of the places where we have business operations.”
🚨 JOBS ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨
Yes, it may look a bit different – but today @NC_Governor (virtually) joined @CLTgov and @MeckCounty to announce that @Centene is developing a major regional HQ in CLT.
This will bring 3,237 new jobs to NC, totaling an investment of over $1 billion… pic.twitter.com/5juA6gaRiH

Centene’s 3,237-job commitment makes the company’s new Mecklenburg County campus the largest job creation project in the 18-year history of the Job Development Investment Grant (JDIG) program.
“Centene’s investment here is great for the Charlotte area and our whole state,” Governor Cooper said. “Centene knows that North Carolina has a resilient economy, ready workforce, livable communities and a host of other assets that make our state a leading destination for forward-thinking businesses.”
