Two digital imaging companies have announced plans to bring several hundred jobs to Georgia over the next few years.
YesVideo is hiring 300 people for a regional plant set to open in Norcross in Gwinnett County next month.
The Santa Clara, California-based firm converts home movies and videos to DVDs and other digital formats.
Steven Bush is the city's economic development manager. He says the jobs are quality positions:
"They are going to be a lot of tech jobs; a lot of jobs that require some training.”Bush says salaries will be in the mid-40's. He also notes that the conversion service is available at 30,000 retail locations, including Walgreens, CVS and Costco.
The firm is the second high-tech company to open its doors in Norcross recently: Solar powercell maker Suneva opened a $75 million dollar plant in Norcross late last year.
Meanwhile, in west Georgia, Kodak is adding on a third production line at their Columbus plant.
A Kodak spokesperson says they'll add another 50 spots to the current 250 jobs over the next three years.
The plant makes digital printing plates for the packaging and printing industry.
