Brian Kemp: “Our skilled and highly qualified workforce is a major reason why job creators keep coming to and expanding in our state.”

I'm grateful for the great partnership of the General Assembly in funding and promoting this program, and I look forward to even more jobs and investment going to rural areas.

I strongly support cutting taxes and giving hardworking Georgians more relief – which is exactly what we accomplished this legislative session.

This massive investment from Walmart in a rural part of our state will not only create new, good-paying jobs for hardworking Georgians, it will also allow them to work close to home rather than commuting to a larger city for work.

Every Georgian should have opportunity, no matter their zipcode, and Walmart is helping us deliver on that promise.
