(The Center Square) – GreenBox Systems LLC is opening an automated warehouse in Butts County that will bring 300 jobs, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp said Wednesday.
The company will occupy a 1 million-square-foot facility in Jackson’s The Cubes at RiverPark. The jobs include automation operators and managers, forklift operators, material handlers, shipping and receiving clerks, logistics coordinators and maintenance technicians, according to a joint news release from Kemp and the Georgia Department of Economic Development. The total investment is estimated at $144 million.
Butts County is about an hour south of Atlanta.
“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,” said Russ Crumbley, Butts County Board of Commissioners chairman. “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.”
The facility is expected to open in late 2025.
“As a proud Georgia Tech alum, I have long admired how Georgia fosters innovation, and GreenBox is pleased to be part of this continued growth,” said Vikas J. Parekh, managing partner at SoftBank Investment Advisers and board director of GreenBox.
