Hopefully, this will mean something positive for the Winston-Salem economy...

Edit: Kaching!

After the transaction closes, the full integration of B&W's operations into RJRT, including the sales forces, manufacturing operations, and other areas, is expected to take 18 to 24 months. The company plans to consolidate headquarters and operations in Winston-Salem.

Damn Louisville, RJR announced a 40% cut in jobs companywide . . . the people sweating bullets typically live around Winston-Salem, NC.

Yep, hopefully, this will be big for the Forsyth County economy...
