Parsons Corporation Expands Augusta, Georgia, Operations
10/18/2019
“We are thrilled a leading cybersecurity company like Parsons is seeing rapid growth at the Georgia Cyber Center in Augusta,” said Governor Brian P. Kemp. “This expansion showcases the Cyber Center’s tremendous impact on the cyber industry in our state and the CSRA. These additional, high-quality jobs will only add to Georgia's resume as a national leader in the cyber industry and a key national security asset.”
In August 2019, Governor Kemp announced Parsons’ initial decision to locate and create 26 new jobs at the Cyber Center in Augusta. This most recent expansion is the result of Parsons’ growing cyber business as U.S. Army Cyber Command at Fort Gordon continues to promote the growth of the industry in Augusta.
“Parsons has long been part of the regional community and we are thrilled to continue our growth in support of the U.S. Army cyber mission,” said Chuck Harrington, President & CEO of Parsons Corporation. “Our leading capabilities help the nation’s warfighter operate at the tactical edge. Parsons stands ready to support them regardless of the mission or location.”
“The Development Authority of Augusta is excited for the further investment by Parsons in the Georgia Cyber Center and our community,” said Steven Kendrick, Chairman of the Development Authority of Augusta. “These are the jobs that we have been targeting as a community for cybersecurity and Downtown Augusta since the state’s investment in the Georgia Cyber Center. Parsons is a tremendous company that will be great for the community, Fort Gordon, and create jobs for the citizens of Richmond County and the entire MSA. We are excited to be able to assist them and look forward to helping them as they continue to expand in our community.”
Georgia Department of Economic Development (GDEcD) Project Manager Adela Kelley represented the Global Commerce Division on this project in partnership with the Development Authority of Augusta.
GDEcD Commissioner Pat Wilson said, “Our state made an important investment in the cybersecurity industry when we opened the Georgia Cyber Center, and this type of growth shows how that investment has paid off. I am looking forward to watching Parsons’ continued success in the years ahead.”
