AECOM to retain downtown Aiken presence after URS buy
AECOM announced in July 2014 its $4 billion purchase of URS. In February plans to vacate the downtown Aiken complex were canceled, preserving local jobs. Wade Brodie of The Aiken Corporation praised the decision, noting 30 to 40 jobs may stay in the area. The building hosts AECOM's Nuclear and Environment unit and ties to Savannah River Site since 1989.
