GEORGIA, February 6 - ATLANTA – Governor Brian P. Kemp today announced that Preciball USA plans to invest $17.6 million in a new production facility in Screven County, creating 65 new jobs over the next several years.

“Preciball USA is one of the small-to-medium-sized manufacturers whose products are critical to entire industries that call Georgia home, and we are proud of their continued growth in the No. 1 state to do business,” said Governor Brian Kemp. “We're also excited to see programs like the Rural Site Development Initiative continue providing resources for Georgia’s businesses and people to be successful while setting the stage for future opportunities.”
