Lieutenant Governor Casey Cagle gave a speech about economic development and says we’re moving in the right direction

“To see dirt moving, right now is a very positive thing and the number of jobs can be anywhere from 400 jobs potentially as things continue to develop and continue to prosper in this community” says Cagle.

Lt. Gov. Cagle says education is a large factor in the state’s economic development plan.  He says a significant investment is needed to make high schools more technical and enable students to get into the workforce faster.

Lt. Gov. Cagle says it’s encouraging for other businesses to invest in the community once they see large companies like Public and CVS setting up shop.
