Our partners at the Greater Columbus Chamber, specifically Brian Sillitto, did a wonderful job selling all Columbus has to offer and I thank him for his efforts." "GCS will provide hundreds of jobs for our citizens and repurpose a former retail center that can spur future development in the area. "We are extremely excited to welcome GCS to Columbus," said Russ Carreker, chairman of the Development Authority of Columbus. The Greater Columbus Georgia Chamber of Commerce also made this announcement Wednesday morning. We appreciate GCS' investment in Columbus and look forward to further strengthening this partnership in the years to come." "As the number one state for business, Georgia's economic environment will provide a solid foundation for GCS to serve its growing customer base. "Georgia is a global hub for communications services thanks to our technology infrastructure and skilled workforce," said Deal. But, they have the business and if they can scale quickly, I don't see how they can't get to 600 employees within the next 24 months," said Brian Sillitto, executive vice president of Economic development. They have three or five years to do that. "They want to try to get to 600 employees as soon as possible.

The Development Authority says that's where the new location for GCS will be. That's before it closed down earlier this year. McCaskill says he's lived in the area of Buena Vista Road for a while and remembers shopping at the former Winn-Dixie on Hunt Avenue.
