OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — ConAgra Foods has bought three of the buildings on is Omaha campus for roughly $75 million to give the company flexibility as it plans to move its headquarters to Chicago next year.
The Omaha World-Herald reports (http://bit.ly/1OVovHu ) ConAgra now owns three of the five buildings on the downtown campus near the Missouri River. It has long-term leases on the others.
Owning more of the buildings should give the company more flexibility as it eliminates 1,500 office jobs and reduces the size of its Omaha operation.
ConAgra spokesman Chris Kircher says the company is still evaluating how much space it will need in Omaha.
Local developers are already imagining possible projects that could be done with some of the ConAgra campus, but they're waiting for the company to finalize its plans.
