Alabama site picked for Georgia firm's call center 11 minutes ago (AP:MOBILE, Ala) An Alabama site has been selected by a Georgia-based company for a call center with as many as 1,200 full-time workers hired over the next few years. Officials with Ryla Teleservices Inc., announced Wednesday that Saraland has been picked for its new regional headquarters, a corporate data center and a regional customer contact center. Gov. Bob Riley joined Mobile County officials in announcing plans for the center, which will have a base wage of $21,754 with bonuses and benefits. "This is probably the only announcement of more than 1,000 new jobs taking place in America today and it's happening here in Alabama," Riley said. Ryla, based in Kennesaw, hopes to fill the first 400 jobs by early summer and the remaining 800 by the end of 2011. The county commission agreed to provide some $175,000 in incentives over the next two years to bring the Ryla expansion to Saraland. The privately owned company will make a capital investment of $8.5 million in making the expansion. "Ryla applauds the governor, as well as state and local leadership for approving incentives that fuel economic development and create employment opportunities domestically," Ryla president Mark Wilson said in a statement.
