They will hire 1,400 employees starting in January as painters, fabricators and assembly technicians...more for the Plant, which will open in late 2013.
The new Caterpillar plant will be built on a 780 acre industrial site in Bogart, just outside Athens at the intersection of Highways 316 (University Parkway) and 78, boarding on Clarke and Oconee Counties.
The new facility in Georgia will become Caterpillar's global source for small track-type bulldozers and mini hydraulic excavators. The Assembly facility is being relocated to Georgia from Japan.
In making the announcement, Governor Nathan Deal tolde 11Alive that tax incentives certainly played a role in Caterpillar picking Georgia over neighboring states that competing for the facility.

DRUID HILLS, Ga. (WXIA) -- A new credit card scam is sweeping through small businesses in DeKalb County.
The scammers have been working their way through small businesses in parts of DeKalb County, trying to steal sensitive information from merchant credit card readers.
The...more scammers go into a store, claiming to represent a bank or credit card company. They tell store owners or managers that they want to change the credit card decals in the store windows.
One shop owner, Mike Morrison of Wings Camera, says he did not suspect a thing.
"On a regular basis as a retailer you will have people come by your store who want to change card stickers in the window. The next morning when I came to work I realized that the sticker had a union pay at the top of it which I had never seen before," Morrison said.
Morrison said it made him suspicious.
A week later the same person returned to his store, wanting to swipe a card through the

ATLANTA (WXIA) -- The Bank of America Plaza, the tallest and most identifiable building in the Southeast, goes on the auction block on Tuesday.
The building is in foreclosure and will be sold on the steps of the Fulton County Courthouse.
No matter how you look at it, the...more 55-story Bank of America Plaza building is a first-rate address in Atlanta for many top law firms and corporations.
The building's owners, who purchased the building from Bank of America and Cousins Properties in 2006 for $436 million -- when the real estate market was at its peak -- have now fallen victim to the real estate bust.
The owners watched as Atlanta was hit hard by over-building, lots of empty office space and inflated prices.
The building could fetch less than half of what it was worth five years ago.
Commercial real estate broker Kirk Diamond says what's happening is not unusual in this market, but it's a winner for existing tenants and new ones

ATLANTA (WXIA) -- George Andrews: Bank president, business leader, mentor and motivator.
He grew up in Atlanta's West End, and says he will never give up on its potential and the potential of its residents.
"I grew up in this community. The West End for many years was the...more economic catalyst for development throughout Atlanta," Andrews said.
But in the late 60s the West End started to change.
"When the money left the community with 'White Flight', I saw what economic power meant to a community, so it was a lifetime ambition to restore the community back to the zenith it was prior to the money leaving the community. I thought a community bank could be a catalyst to restore hope," he said.
Andrews set his goal on building a bank to serve the underserved African American community and to rebuild the West End.
"This is going to be a people's bank so it ought to be owned by the people of the community. So I focused my attention

ATLANTA -- Harriet Bradley, caregiver for 92-year-old Mildred Mallory says enough is enough on paying double fares when traveling Gwinnett Paratransit, then switching to MARTA Mobility.
She says it an outrage that Mallory and others like her have to pay a full fare on one carrier...more then are forced to pay another full fare on a second carrier. Regular passengers traveling both systems pay only one fare for a fraction of the cost.
Bradley first took her fight first to the MARTA board, then to its chief executive. Now she's gone to the next level, meeting with the executive director of the Atlanta Regional Commission.
She says she wants one fare to use both services.
"Today it was $14.50 roundtrip. When the fare goes up in Gwinnett it's going to be $15.50," Bradley said. "There are about eight people that use the system every day to come into Atlanta -- that's $146! Can you imagine $146? That is more than gas."
Both MARTA and the ARC

CARTERSVILLE, Ga. -- Ashley Matthews, 20, has a serious illness that requires constant medical care, but six weeks ago, her family found out their Medicaid was being cancelled.
The family said they couldn't find out why the services were being terminated.
"Services just...more stopped out of nowhere. We got no notice from anyone. Nobody told us why or anything. We tried and tried going on almost two months now, just trying to find out something. All we kept getting was an automated phone service. We could never get a real person on the phone," said Ashley's father, Todd Matthews. "We lost our nurse who came three times a week. Then, the company that we get the lift from told us we had one week to get it resolved."
11Alive's Help Desk contacted the Georgia Department of Community Health to get the issue resolved.
Twenty-four hours later, the family learned services for Ashley were being restored.
"We have everything back and are just so

It's a great time to be using natural gas, with prices coming way down. It's a combination of new drilling techniques allowing companies to tap into natural gas sources they could not reach before and a relatively mild winter that has caused a glut of natural gas on the market.
