Key Quotes:
Jorge Magana, Vice President,
Global Operations, Level 3
Atlanta has been a core
location for many years. Bringing all of our employees together in
our state-of-the-art facility, aligns with Level 3's business
objectives and enables us to strengthen our relationship with our
local, regional and global customers. For our employees,
Peachtree Corners and the greater
Atlanta area offers a strong
quality of life and a wonderful cultural environment. The
purchase and build out of the new facility is a significant
strategic investment and we are looking forward to deepening our
roots here in Georgia.
Tom Croteau, Deputy
Commissioner, Global Commerce,

Level 3's decision to form a unified operations presence in
Gwinnett County speaks to the
pro-business and culturally-dynamic environment that we offer here
in Georgia. We are confident that
with the strong foundation of Georgia's number one ranked economic climate,
they will continue to be a formidable competitor in the global
telecommunications industry.
Charlotte Nash, Chairman,
Gwinnett County Board of
Commissioners
Level 3's decision to expand into Gwinnett County highlights once again the
strong technology sector that exists in our community. We
congratulate them on this expansion and wish them much continued
success here in Gwinnett.
Mike Mason, Mayor,
Peachtree Corners
We are extremely pleased to welcome Level 3 to our business
community. They are a great fit. The company's decision to choose
Technology Park as the site for its relocation further illustrates
that Peachtree Corners is a top 10
regional job hub.
