Governor Brian Kemp (R-GA) announced today that Prime, Inc., a leading North American transportation company, will invest more than $160 million to establish a new Southeastern regional hub in Spalding County.
Gov. Kemp thanked Prime’s leaders in a recent comment and remarked on their partnership with Spalding County leaders. He also highlighted Prime’s upcoming contribution to the state economy and Georgia’s reputation as the best state for business.
“Prime, Inc.’s new campus will further add to Georgia’s $107 billion transportation and logistics industry that creates and supports jobs in every corner of our state,” said Gov. Kemp. “I want to thank the state and local economic developers who made this great project possible and the company leaders who chose the No. 1 state for business for this exciting new chapter.”
Assistant Director of Statewide Projects Elizabeth McLean represented the Georgia Department of Economic Development Global Commerce team on this project in partnership with the Griffin-Spalding Development Authority, Metro Atlanta Chamber, and Georgia EMC.
The New Facility
Prime’s new Southeastern campus will create more than 120 new, full-time jobs in addition to hiring over 50 professional drivers. It will be located at High Falls 16 Business Center near Griffin.
For context, the company specializes in refrigerated, flatbed, tanker, hopper, intermodal, and logistics transportation services. It operates a fleet of over 7,000 units with more than 8,500 drivers.
The new terminal will house state-of-the-art facilities to complement its driving base, including driver development and training, equipment maintenance, and comfort amenities.
Additional services will include selling well-maintained used truck/trailer equipment and recycling used truck tires to produce aggregate rubber material for usable mulch and pellets. These efforts currently shred more than 1 million truck tires per year, keeping them out of landfills.
The company will begin hiring mechanics, driving operators, and facility maintenance personnel. Anyone interested can learn more at: www.lifeatprime.com.
