The Louisiana Economic Development Corp. has awarded a $1.8 million grant to help Direct General Corp. to set up a larger telemarketing center in Baton Rouge, LA.
The Nashville, TN-based auto insurance company reportedly expects to increase its staff fourfold to roughly 400 within the next few years. Louisiana’s labor department has committed to cover the cost of training new employees.
Direct General is expected to spend more than $4 million for equipment purchases to outfit the center.
