Centene Corp.'s much touted move to Ballpark Village in downtown St. Louis is dead.

The Clayton-based company released a statement today stating, "Ballpark Village was unable to accommodate Centene's plans for our world headquarters, which we deeply regret and are disappointed to announce."

Quote:

"We are currently resuming the evaluation of other potential options for the location of our corporate headquarters, both in and out of the region," the statement said.

Is the Ballpark Village a "dead" project now? Or will someone else step in to make it a GO!?

Earlier this year, the Sporting News announced it was moving its headquarters to Charlotte. Now, Centenne is looking at leaving the area. When will the "drain" of companies stop?
