DESCRIPTION
Through Southern Railway and other predecessor railroads, Norfolk Southern traces its roots in Atlanta to the mid-1840s. Currently, more than 2,000 Norfolk Southern employees work in Midtown Atlanta at the company’s Peachtree Street operations center – about a mile from the new headquarters site. Around 500 employees work at the company’s Norfolk headquarters. Norfolk Southern’s migration to Atlanta already has begun, with another 300-plus dispatchers already relocated and in place at the company’s newly opened Network Operations Center. The first wave of Norfolk-based employees relocates in July, and the consolidation will complete when the new headquarters building is finished.
Plans call for the building to be completed and occupied by Norfolk Southern in the third quarter of 2021.
New headquarters, means a new Corporate Hangar. As construction speeds along for the new towers ground is breaking at Charlie Brown Airport for Norfolk Southern’s Corporate Hangar. The hangar has space for three aircraft inside the hangar and parking for additional aircraft on the apron. The hangar is connected to an office space for the pilots as well as workshops for the mechanics. A generous and well appointed lobby greets Norfolk Southern employees and their guests for travel. A conference room is also available to travelers so it’s business as usual as they wait for their departure.
Construction is scheduled to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2021.
