Kemp. “Their decision to bring their operations to Georgia is a testament to our top-notch workforce, pro-business environment, and unmatched access to major metropolitan areas throughout the Southeast. I look forward to the opportunities this expansion will create for hardworking Georgians in Bainbridge and Southwest Georgia.”
