company executives are looking for a place to
make a new investment, build a new facility
and create new jobs, they have many choices.
As they carry out their searches, they find
one place with the right real estate, but no
transportation. They might find the right transportation,
but penthouse prices for land. Or, it could
be the right land, the right transportation,
but an unskilled workforce and a community that
doesn’t care.
In Georgia, companies don’t have to worry about those missing pieces. In this issue, we highlight two companies that recently chose to build in Georgia because we have ‘the total package.’ Tractor Supply Company and Havertys both have built new, innovative distribution centers in what is rapidly becoming a hub for warehousing and distribution in North Georgia (see Partner’s Perspective).
These companies both had unique needs, and they found solutions along the I-85 corridor. Not only did they find the land and the buildings they needed, but they also found a skilled workforce and a local community dedicated to working together to support the companies’ success – and now North Georgia has hundreds of new jobs.
Quick Start is proud to be a partner in Georgia’s team, providing essential workforce training for qualified companies in Georgia. Our participation with Tractor Supply Company, Havertys and the many other companies mentioned in this issue of the newsletter, is an example of how our program – working in conjunction with our technical colleges – helps make the case for doing business in Georgia.
