U.S. Bowling Congress to move from Greendale to Texas
Published January 22, 2008 - BizTimes Daily
The United States Bowling Congress board of directors announced that it has given the approval to start negotiations with all parties involved to move the organization's headquarters from Greendale to Arlington, Texas.
The decision, made Sunday during the board's meeting in Myrtle Beach, S.C., is contingent on negotiations for buildings and land near the Bowling Proprietors' Association of America (BPAA) complex, along with any incentives offered by the City of Arlington and State of Texas. The BPAA board also must approve the plan, and is scheduled to do so at a meeting Wednesday during the it mid-winter meetings in Myrtle Beach.
"After carefully considering the facts, including taking into account the long history of USBC and its predecessors in the Milwaukee area, the board came to the conclusion that it was in USBC's best business interests to join with BPAA in Arlington creating an international bowling campus," said USBC president Jeff Bojé.
The USBC headquarters will move to Arlington unless there is a breakdown in the negotiations relating to the property, according to the organization. The USBC is expected to move within a year. In addition to office space for approximately 235 overall employees, the new complex would include a combined equipment testing and international training center.
