Puskar, File) Comcast is expanding its Southeast hub in the northern Atlanta suburbs of Gwinnett County.
Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal announced today that Comcast will relocate is 532-employee regional headquarters in Atlanta to Peachtree Corners in Gwinnett County and add 300 jobs.
"With approximately 4,000 employees in Georgia, Comcast has long been a strong corporate partner of our state," Deal said in a statement today. "Not only has the company created high-quality jobs, but Comcast has also continued to invest in technology infrastructure statewide."
Comcast's new 88,000-square-foot facility will feature four floors, a high-tech demonstration lab and a Comcast University space for employee training and continuing education. The company will add 150 positions at its new headquarters and 150 additional employees to its existing facility in Alpharetta on North Point Parkway.
"By bringing 300 new jobs to Atlanta, Comcast continues to support Georgia's economic development by building a strong, highly skilled workforce, deploying innovative products and services, and investing in the most advanced broadband network in the state," said Doug Guthrie, regional senior vice president for Comcast.
