GE bringing smart grid division to Atlanta: The Cumberland area will be home to GE's newest business division focused on smart grid technology. The company announced it will be leasing about 100,000 SF of office at Parkwood Point with plans to move into the space as early as late summer. As part of the project, a $15 million Smart Grid Center of Excellence is also planned. This announcement establishes a new industry to the area and will position Atlanta as a leader in green energy. As both the Atlanta Business Chronicle and Atlanta Journal-Constitution have reported, the new division will bring approximately 400 high paying jobs to the area over the next three years. Growth in the smart grid industry could also lead to more companies seeking office space in the area. In addition, local companies already associated with smart grid technology could likely expand. The Cumberland market stands to benefit the most from the space demand. The new division expands upon GE's presence in the Cumberland market. GE Energy is headquartered at Wildwood and the company currently leases over 450,000 SF in the area.

They are hiring fairly aggressively...I was able to help my old coworker (got laid off by my last company) by talking to an MBA classmate at GE who then put in a good word for him at GE Smart Grid and he was in for an interview within 2-3 days and had an offer a week later. Given he was out of work about 4 months, GE was a great opportunity and they even paid solidly more than his last job.
