38. Mississippi Makes Bid For Pinnacle HQ - Friday, July 16, 2010

Add Olive Branch, Mississippi, to the list of locations, along with Downtown and the area around Memphis International Airport, that Pinnacle Airlines is considering for a larger corporate headquarters.

The Memphis-based air passenger carrier is being wooed by the state of Mississippi to consolidate its operations in the same city that just plucked another Memphis business opportunity away from the Bluff City – McKesson, which decided earlier this year to put a distribution facility and 300 jobs in Olive Branch.

“Governor Barbour and the state of Mississippi offered a very generous package of incentives to entice Pinnacle to locate in Olive Branch,” reads a statement from Pinnacle. “We are impressed with their efforts and we continue to give the proposal serious consideration.

“The state of Tennessee and the City of Memphis continue to work very hard to make our continued growth here feasible. It’s no secret that we are looking at locations in downtown Memphis and near Memphis International Airport. The move would have to allow us to consolidate our operations into a single location, and to cut our operating and occupancy costs.”

All parties involved are still far away from hearing the music cued for the closing credits on a deal. An effort has been under way, for example, to woo Pinnacle into Downtown’s One Commerce Square, which took a big blow with word several weeks ago Glankler Brown PLLC is vacating 39,000 square feet there later this year.

Mark Jenkins of Commercial Alliance Management LLC, the firm that leases and manages One Commerce Square, told The Daily News last month there may be hope yet for a deal that brings Pinnacle to the iconic Downtown tower.

“We are very optimistic about the opportunity that we have with Pinnacle as well as some other major users,” Jenkins said.
