Forced Firm Relocation
When a member of your political party is elected as mayor, you gain the ability to relocate firms owned by any private companies (even those in which you hold no shares) as part of your city planning efforts.
Exception: Natural resource firms cannot be relocated.
The following screenshots illustrate how this process works.
The city government will provide compensation to the affected company. The compensation amount is displayed when you select a target location for relocating a firm, as shown below.
Strategic Use
Although this feature is designed for city planning purposes, players can use it to benefit their own company. By relocating competitors’ firms to less advantageous locations using city funds for compensation, players can free up prime locations with high customer traffic. These desirable locations can then be acquired by the player’s company for its own advantage.
