Gov. Rick Scott paid a visit Friday to Seminole County to talk about new jobs coming to the area.
Paylocity, a payroll company in Lake Mary, is expanding and creating 176 new jobs.
The governor says job growth continues in Florida.
“We are excited to announce the creation of 176 new jobs in Lake Mary today. Paylocity has already created 150 jobs for local families, and this expansion is great news. We will stay focused on diversifying Florida’s economy by cutting $1 billion in taxes this year so businesses across the state can keep creating jobs and Florida can become first for job growth,” said Scott.
Paylocity services thousands of businesses across the nation in need of payroll and human resources services.
“Our Lake Mary, Florida office plays a vital role in Paylocity’s mission to elevate payroll and human resources from the backroom to the boardroom. We look forward to a bright future as we expand and add even more talented and committed team members,” says Steve Beauchamp, Paylocity CEO.
The governor's office says the Paylocity expansion was made possible through partnerships between Enterprise Florida, the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, the Orlando Economic Development Commission, Seminole County, the City of Lake Mary, CareerSource Florida, the University of Central Florida, Seminole State College, and Seminole County Public Schools.
