Fidelity to Expand in North Carolina

Fidelity Investments is going to expand its presence in North Carolina, according to a number of reports. The company, which already employs 1,000 people in Triangle, N.C., could add as many as 5,000 jobs and is expected to make the announcement at a Wednesday press conference that Governor Mike Easley has called.

The state’s general assembly recently passed two bills to increase economic incentives.
