But they also view the move as a chance for blacks and the city at large to look more I to themselves, rather than to a cerporate m? economic development* "I don't think it's anything that can't be overcome," said NAACP President Walter Marshall of the firm's announced move of its corporate headquarters to Atlanta. I RJR's relocation may, in fact, help the city in the long run, Marshall said. "In a way, it will keep the city diversified," he said. "I think having Fortune 500 companies here is good. But the future of the city is in trying to get moderate-sized businesses to locate here - not just giant I industry. "I would say that RJR has been good for Winston-Salem, and I think the thingpeople dislike most about the move is that RJR I is such an institution in the community," Marshall said. "No one felt they would ever leave." ex The firm announced last Thursday that it tho move *ts corporate headquarters from ioto Reynolds Boulevard to Atlanta, taking between 250 and 300 corporate employees with it. iiijniOWii T oral na 9 of embez By ROBIN BARKSDAL Chronicle Staff Writer .
