North Georgia attracts new jobs

Governor Sonny Perdue’s trade mission to Europe is paying off. Today the Governor announced that German power supply company Transtechnik is adding 45 jobs in Cherokee County.

The company opened its facility in Ball Ground last March, and hopes to have 100 employees by 2009. The new jobs will range from $12-an-hour manufacturing positions to engineering jobs averaging $55,000 a year, as well as administrative positions.

Governor Perdue is in his second week of a 10-day trip to Europe that he calls an economic and development mission.
