Energy Company To Build New Eastern HQ Building

Chesapeake Energy announced that it has purchased 27 acres at NorthGate Business Park for its Eastern Division headquarters. Chesapeake picked the privately-owned business park off Greenbrier Street because of its campus-like setting and proximity to Yeager Airport and Interstates 64 and 77. The company expects to relocate its nearly 150 employees to a new building by late 2007 or early 2008. The headquarters will be "the first building on a piece of property that can easily accommodate multiple buildings."
