LOGISTICS COMPANY SELECTS PAULDING

Paulding County Economic Development (PCED) is pleased to announce that Turn4 Logistics, LLC a new flatbed trucking company has selected Paulding County for its base of operations. The company will be located at 100 Dallas Industrial Drive at the Dallas Industrial Park. Operations will begin next week with 10 employees. Turn4 Logistics' plans call for a rapid expansion of services and personnel over the next twelve months.

Turn4 Logistics CEO Lewis Harrell says, “My previous employment with RotorWorks allowed me the opportunity to see first hand just how outstanding the business community and people are of Paulding. Turn4 Logistics considered other locations in the region but it was Paulding that impressed us time and again. We believe there is no better place in the region for growing our company."

PCED assisted Turn4 Logistics with site selection, local incentives and permitting. Hiring information will be posted here and on the PCED website as it becomes available.

DALLAS MEMORY CARE SELECTS PAULDING COUNTY

Paulding County Economic Development (PCED) is pleased to announce that Paulding has successfully recruited its first medical enterprise. Dallas Memory Care (DMC) will be exclusively dedicated to the care of patients with Alzheimer’s and dementia. The new $8 million facility will employ 40 associates at an average salary of $16 per hour.

The project is being developed by Skip Deupree and several local investors. Mr. Deupree has successfully developed two other memory care facilities in Birmingham, Alabama. DMC will be located on Atlanta Highway less than one mile from WellStar Paulding Hospital and in the Paulding County/City of Dallas Opportunity Zone. The 35,000 square foot facility will be located on 4 acres. The architect for the project is CDH Partners which designed the WellStar Paulding Hospital. Its design will be consistent with the Birmingham facilities which can be seen in the accompanying photos.

PCED has identified medical services as one of Paulding’s key target industries. It is hoped that Dallas Memory Care will be the first of many new medical operations to select Paulding as the County works to develop a medical corridor around WellStar Paulding Hospital. Skip Deupree says that Paulding County is the third most under served county in Georgia for memory care but that he chose Paulding over the two other counties for his first facility in Georgia because PCED showed a desire and commitment to bring his operations to Paulding. “I can’t thank enough the PCED team for their work and time devoted to our project. DMC is in Paulding because of their efforts.” said Mr. Deupree.

PCED assisted Dallas Memory Care with site selection, research and project incentives. The facility is expected to open in late 2015. DMC says Paulding County residents will be given preference in the hiring process. Information on hiring will be posted here and on the PCED website as it becomes available.
