Atlanta, Georgia – Governor Brian P. Kemp announced a new milestone for Georgia’s digital sector: Salesforce will invest $15 million to expand its operations in the state, creating more than 250 new jobs in Fulton County by the end of 2028. The measure makes Georgia even more attractive to big tech businesses and maintains a trend of state authorities encouraging economic growth.
Kemp said that the expansion shows how Georgia’s long-term focus on keeping the state business-friendly has paid off. He said that companies keep choosing to grow in Georgia because of the state’s efforts in developing people and its commitment to new ideas. Salesforce’s most recent decision shows that they trust a state that is always one of the best places in the country for corporate growth and technology advancement.
Salesforce is known around the world for its cloud-based solutions and AI-powered Customer Relationship Management software. The company already has thousands of employees in the state. The organization works in a lot of different fields in Georgia, including healthcare, financial services, retail, manufacturing, logistics, and the public sector. The company’s leaders said that the Atlanta area is very important to its long-term plans.
Tanya Counter, Site Lead for Salesforce Atlanta, noted that the city has been a “cornerstone” for the company’s growth.
“Atlanta has always been a cornerstone of Salesforce’s growth story,” said Tanya Counter, Site Lead for Salesforce Atlanta. “This expansion reflects both our confidence in Atlanta’s extraordinary talent and our commitment to building an inclusive, values-driven workplace that helps our customers, our employees, and our communities thrive. We’re proud to continue growing here and deepening our investment in a city we call home.”
“Atlanta offers diverse talent, global connectivity through Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, and a welcoming community that companies like Salesforce need to expand and thrive,” said Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens. “We appreciate Salesforce for its continued investment and look forward to the opportunities this expansion will create for our residents and local economy.”
Fulton County Board of Commissioners Chairman Robb Pitts echoed those sentiments, calling the expansion a significant win for the county. Pitts said that the decision boosts faith in the area’s economic potential and makes it easier for the region to attract high-quality jobs.
The Global Commerce team of the Georgia Department of Economic Development helped with the initiative. They worked with partners like Invest Atlanta, the Metro Atlanta Chamber, Fulton County, and Georgia Power.
Georgia’s tech sector continues to expand thanks to Salesforce’s renewed commitment. Global leaders are coming to Georgia because they know the state has a solid infrastructure, a competitive climate, and a lot of talented people.
