Sylvamo Corporation, a subsidiary of International Paper that is in the process of being spun off into an independent, publicly-traded company, could put its headquarters in Memphis.
The company said 300 people would work at the location. It was not immediately clear if those would be new employees or existing International Paper employees.
Sylvamo filed an application requesting a 15-year payment-in-lieu-of-tax incentive from the Economic Development Growth Engine of Memphis and Shelby County.
Of the 300 jobs, the lowest-paying positions would have an average base pay of almost $87,000, according to the application. General management salaries would be about $124,000 on average and senior management salaries would be about $258,000 on average.
