Georgia – Governor Brian P. Kemp has announced a big boost for west Georgia. BioTouch, a worldwide healthcare logistics company, is moving forward with a big expansion in Columbus. The company will spend $12.5 million to expand its two Muscogee County plants, which will generate 480 new employment over the next four years.
Kemp pointed to the decision as another sign that Georgia’s economy continues to keep growing. He said that BioTouch’s investment shows how well the state has been able to bring new business activity to communities of all sizes. State lawmakers praised Muscogee County for getting an investment that will help the area’s economy and workers for a long time.
“BioTouch’s decision to double down on Georgia underscores how our approach to economic development is bringing opportunity to all parts of the state,” said Governor Brian Kemp in a press release. “I want to congratulate Muscogee County and the entire region on this exciting announcement and the jobs it will bring to this growing community.”…
