From Local 3 News: Thousands of new jobs are coming to the Northwest Georgia area.

 

On Wednesday, Hanwha Q Cells, a South Korean based solar manufacturer, announced a $2.5-billion investment to expand the company’s Dalton plant on Nexus Drive.

 

As part of the investment, the company will also build a new plant northwest of Atlanta.

 

In all, the company will create 2,500 solar manufacturing jobs in Georgia.

A press release from the company says most of the jobs that will be created will not require a four-year degree.

 

The release did not provide details about how much the jobs will pay the workers who fill them.
