Verizon Communications is opening a finance and accounting center in Lake Mary, bringing with it a possible 750 new jobs, Gov. Rick Scott announced Wednesday.
The New York-based communications company will also bring a $50 million capital investment to the area. Initially, 300 jobs will be created by the fourth quarter of 2014 and a total of 750 jobs by 2016.
The new facility, called the Center of Excellence, will hold Verizon?s accounting, finance and back-office operations, and help the company improve processes and enhance service to internal and external customers.
?Verizon?s choice to locate their Center of Excellence in Lake Mary is great news for Florida families,? Scott said, in a prepared statement. ?With the second-largest drop in unemployment rate in the country, this addition of 750 new jobs with Verizon is more proof we have made the right choices over the past two years to keep our economy growing.?
The city of Lake Mary, Enterprise Florida Inc., the Metro Orlando Economic Development Commission and Seminole County were all involved in the Verizon project.
