Motorola: Rep. Sullivan says Quinn 'stabbed Libertyville in the back'

Turning away from decades-long roots in the suburbs, Motorola Mobility Inc. plans to leave its Libertyville campus for a downtown Chicago location seen as more in keeping with the image of its new Google owners. After 18 years in Libertyville, the mobile phone maker is moving its headquarters and about 3,000 workers into the top four floors of the Merchandise Mart in downtown Chicago. The 15-year lease and the $300 million price tab for the move and build-out of the new office are intended to give the legendary company its own new lease on innovation.
