It seems just like yesterday that manufacturing giant Caterpillar, Inc. announced its plans to build its newest plant in our region, specifically in Bogart GA. Today, the plant has already been erected and several steps implemented toward the final goal.

The company plans to create 1,400 new jobs through this plant, which will primarily be building mini-excavators (at first) as well as small track tile bulldozers. The total employment goal is through 2020, with 300 local hires to take place during this year and the remaining new jobs gradually built up leading up to the year 2020.

Currently, there are about 60 to 65 employees already on the job or in the process of hiring, including executive management members that have transferred to the area. To apply for employment with Caterpillar, Inc. community members are encouraged to log onto the company’s employment website www.jointeamcaterpillar.com.

Once in production, the near 9000 square foot facility and its manufactured goods will help to stimulate the local and regional economies with new jobs as well as lots of spin-off suppliers and business. Operation expected to begin by the fourth quarter of this year, business analysts and local economists predict a strong ripple effect that will reverberate throughout this and surrounding communities.
