Cobb County, Ga. (July 2, 2014) – Vonage Business Solutions, a leading communications provider, has announced that it will be moving to the Towers at Wildwood Plaza on Windy Hill Road in Cobb County. The New Jersey-based company will be inhabiting nearly 80,000 square feet, giving the company ample room to grow from their current location in Midtown, Atlanta. The relocation is expected to bring 450 new jobs and grow to even more once in Cumberland.
“Our move to Cobb County and the Wildwood Towers was driven by our desire to offer our employees a great facility and expanded amenities,” Wain Kellum, president of Vonage Business Solutions, told the Atlanta Business Chronicle on Wednesday. “We believe this move will help us retain and attract employees from the Atlanta area, which has a highly talented labor pool, particularly in the area of technology.”
When Vonage announced their plan to expand earlier this year, Cobb’s economic development team rallied to meet the prospect’s needs. “I have always made it very clear that this community is all about economic development and job growth,” said Cobb Commission Chairman Tim Lee. “Our team is about results and as you can see, Vonage is yet another example of a community working hard to gain those results. I am thrilled to have a recognized brand such as Vonage Business Solutions in Cobb County and look forward to a strong partnership with them for many years.”
Brooks Mathis, senior vice president of Economic Development at the Cobb Chamber and executive director of Cobb’s Competitive EDGE, added, “Creating jobs has been a focus of our EDGE program since the very beginning. Having a single point of contact for economic development projects has helped us rally our team to make projects like Vonage land in our community. It is imperative that when a company calls on us, we be responsive and work hard to meet their needs. Without the team-focused Cobb way, this project would not have been a success. The Chamber and Cobb County’s leadership in Chairman Tim Lee, Rob Hosack and Fire Marshal Jay Westbrook made our prospect’s needs a top priority. That attention translates into job creation.”
Vonage continues to develop innovations that enhance the customer experience with VoIP communications. Vonage’s technology serves approximately 2.4 million subscribers. The Vonage World plan offers unlimited calling to more than 60 countries with popular features, like call waiting, call forwarding and visual voicemail.
