IQT Will Not Come to Nashville

The technology support company IQT will not be bringing 900 jobs to Nashville according to an announcement from the Mayor’s office today.

Last month, Metro made a 1.6 million dollar deal to lure IQT to Nashville. However conversations about the deal have now stopped.

IQT laid off more than a thousand workers from three Canadian call centers last week, a move that prompted the Mayor’s office to question the company in a letter.

In a statement released today, the director of the Mayor’s office of economic and community development said that none of the incentive money has been paid to the company.
