Mayor Kurt Wilson publicly thanked U.S. Rep. Rich McCormick on behalf of Roswell, Georgia, saying McCormick played a "significant hand" in helping the city land PBS Aerospace, a company from the Czech Republic that Wilson said will bring 50 jobs paying about $150,000 a year.
The announcement came during remarks at a city meeting in which Wilson described the arrival of PBS Aerospace as "a big deal" and said "there's more coming." The mayor identified the positions as part of bringing the company to Roswell.
Congressman Rich McCormick, who was in attendance, praised Roswell as "the right place to be," saying it has "fantastic facilities" and calling the mayor and city leadership "fantastic." McCormick added, "I'm thinking about getting a place here myself," and said it was his "pleasure" to assist in the effort.
No formal vote or action was recorded in the transcript excerpt. The comments were presented as announcements and expressions of thanks rather than as part of a formal agenda item.
The mayor attributed the jobs and salary figure to the city's effort to recruit PBS Aerospace from the Czech Republic; the transcript did not provide further details on the timeline for hiring, the specific types of jobs, or incentives offered by the city.
Wilson's remarks concluded with thanks to McCormick and a note that more developments related to the company were expected, but the transcript did not specify additional projects or dates.
