Tyson Foods announced Wednesday it will be moving corporate staff from offices in Chicago, Illinois, to Springdale, Arkansas.

The move will affect about 1,000 corporate positions in Chicago; Downers Grove, Illinois; and Dakota Dunes, South Dakota. Phased relocation will begin early next year, according to a press release.

“The move will foster closer collaboration, enhance team member agility and enable faster decision making, positioning Tyson to win with its team members, customers, and consumers,” the press release claims.

Tyson joins a growing movement of companies relocating their offices out of Chicago, following Caterpillar, Boeing, and Citadel. Citadel founder Ken Griffin admitted that crime in Chicago motivated his moving of the company to Miami, Florida.

Miami reported 35 murders so far this year, which is about 8 in every 100,000. Chicago doubles that ratio in murders. New York’s ratio is half of that.
