"We are thrilled to have found great talent in Hopkinsville and we look forward to becoming an integral part of the community."
Hopkinsville Mayor Dan Kemp says TeleTech had been considering Christian County as a possible location for several years. "The company explored several states and numerous communities before selecting Christian County. We are proud that the quality of our labor force was the deciding factor", Kemp said.
Operations at the new facility are expected to begin later this year.
