Call Center

By Austin Carter

Paris, TN – A representative with the Military Benefit Association announced that Paris will be the site of a new call center that could employ 150 people by late next year. The Paris Post-Intelligencer reports that the nonprofit organization chose Henry County because of the persistence of State Rep. Willie "Butch" Borchert, and might have reconsidered if he had not been reelected. The Military Benefit Association provides life insurances and other benefits to its members. If startup meets their expectations an additional 1,000 employees could be needed within three years.
