BUTTS COUNTY, Ga. — Gov. Brian Kemp announced that a large retail supply servicer will invest $144 million in a new distribution facility in Butts County.
The company, GreenBox Systems LLC, is described as "an innovative company that provides automated warehouse services to businesses of all sizes." The project will create more than 300 new jobs in Butts County, according to a release by the governor's office.
The new distribution center will be located at The Cubes at RiverPark in Jackson, Georgia. It will be a roughly 1 million square foot facility and will employ automation operators and managers, forklift operators, material handlers, shipping and receiving clerks, logistics coordinators, and maintenance technicians, along with AI technology to help serve retailers across the Southeast.
“Innovative job creators in every industry continue to choose Georgia, and we're proud GreenBox is adding their name to that long and growing list,” Kemp said in a statement. “Our world-class education institutions, incredible workforce development initiatives like Georgia MATCH and Georgia Quick Start, and our partnership approach are bringing new opportunities for hardworking Georgians to every zip code.”
The retail supply servicer has a goal of transforming the retail supply chain by using a "network of highly automated, intelligent, and scalable warehouses and distribution centers." The facilities will use AI-enabled software and robotics to help be as efficient and accurate as possible.
“As a commissioner and board members, we have always worked to find ways to improve our tax base with the least amount of impact on the quality of life we have in Butts County. Welcoming a company like GreenBox to our county shows that we have positioned ourselves as the kind of community that high quality industries and businesses want to come to,” said Russ Crumbley, the chairman of the Butts County Board of Commissioners.
Its operations are expected to be up and running in 2025. Job opportunities will be posted here as they open up.
