TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - The Chamber of Commerce marks a victory at attracting new business to the Capital City.

A Georgia‐based company, Senior Life Insurance, has selected Tallahassee‐Leon County as the location for their first expansion into Florida.

Dubbed "Project Rose", the company will create 30 full‐time financial services industry jobs in the community, creating an estimated economic impact of more than $2.6 million in Tallahassee.

"We're excited to be starting here in Tallahassee and look for a lot of future expansion as well. We started very small bringing down 10 that are working out of this office within the last three weeks and we're looking to max the capacity in this office out hopefully within the next couple of weeks to come," said Christopher Quick, with the Rose Project. "We've been very busy and we look to continue to impact the community in a lot of very positive ways."

The expansion of the Senior Life Insurance Company is a collaborative effort between Leon County, the City of Tallahassee, the Greater Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce, and Career-Source Capital Region to encourage local economic growth.
