Gov. Brian P. Kemp Thursday announced another year of “sustained momentum for business recruitment and expansions” in Fiscal Year 2024.
Between July 1, 2023, and June 30 of this year, the state’s Global Commerce team supported 429 facility expansions and new locations resulting in more than $20.3 billion in investment and the commitment of 26,900 new, private sector jobs statewide.
“For years, we’ve worked closely with local and state partners all across Georgia to bring historic job creation to our communities, especially in rural areas,” Kemp said. “These figures are just the latest confirmation that our approach is bringing sustained opportunity for the people of our state, even in the face of economic headwinds on the national level.
Among the projects highlighted in the report are Toyota’s in Jackson County and Japanese probiotic beverage company Yakult and Korean bakery CJ Foodville in Bartow and Hall counties, respectively.
Cargill Corporation, which has an existing presence in Georgia including Hall County and sits at the intersection of multiple key industries for the state, is establishing a new office hub in Atlanta.
