Georgia-Pacific plans major expansion in downtown Atlanta
Georgia-Pacific, the giant paper and consumer products company, plans to expand its Atlanta corporate hub, adding hundreds of jobs at its namesake downtown Atlanta tower.
At a meeting of Invest Atlanta, the city’s economic development arm, officials said they would likely add 600 jobs to the city over several years. The project will also involve renovations to 133 Peachtree Street, GP’s stair-stepped skyscraper, one of the city’s most prominent.
The company went before Invest Atlanta on Thursday for incentives to add in the approximately $150 million overhaul of 23 floors of the tower.
The renovation will create more usable office space within the tower and improve energy efficiency, among my other things.
