Nothing new really…..perhaps more bucks to fund past the construction phase?

From the article:
"The project is also expected to create more than 350 high-quality jobs, support at least 60 early-stage life sciences and biomanufacturing companies, and train 175 skilled workers, contributing to economic growth in the Edmonton region."
Thumbs up to all of this.

I work at Imperial Kearl lake and they said they are gonna start moving some employees from Calgary to Edmonton right away and will lease a building in the city till the planned new HQ is build at the Imperial refinery. Great news for Edmonton.

Wonder if they'll go downtown or look to lease space closer to the refinery like at Twin Atria or something. Also, wonder if the new HQ will be on the refinery site (one of the parking lots?) or if they'll build it across the street at the old Texaco refinery site. Did not realize that most of it had been developed into a huge rail yard recently.

Would be great if it was downtown, but considering their old office in Calgary was in Quarry Park, the chances might be slim for that.

Yeah they said the current plan is for a new office building at the "refinery site" by 2028-29.

Probably in the Alberta Industrial Heartland.

When is the last time this has happened? A company based out of Cowtown closing shop and moving its folks to a new office in Edmonton. Has it ever happened? Knack should declare a municipal holiday.

Until I see an Imperial press release confirming a head office relocation with an attendant significant body count, I'm invoking skeptic mode upgraded to expert setting.

True it is but there was never any mention of “a Head office relocation.”
Head office is and always will be Houston via Exxon Mobil. This will merely be be a “Field Office.” That’s all anything is anymore, heck - YYC is a field office for Ovintiv with only 300 staffers in the BOW tower, down from a high from 18,000 total staff back in the mid 2000’s when they were called EnCana, my former employer
