ATLANTA — Channel 2 Action News has confirmed that Mercedes-Benz is moving its American headquarters to metro Atlanta.

The automaker could bring about 1,000 new jobs to the region, according to sources working on the deal.

A site for the headquarters building has not been released.

The decision comes after months of speculation that the company could relocate to either Georgia or North Carolina.

Mercedes-Benz USA is currently located in New Jersey where lawmakers have offered substantial incentives to keep Mercedes-Benz from moving.
