The new employees have already assumed work in Greenway’s software development and training, legal, cyber security and marketing departments — jobs that pay an average salary of $57,163.
In November, the Hillsborough County Commission and Tampa City Council voted to give Greenway a total of $104,000 in local tax refunds. Florida’s Qualified Target Industry tax refund program accounted for the other 80 percent of the incentive package.
Greenway reviewed alternative sites in other states, but ultimately settled on the Tampa area. Local officials said that was a good call.
“We’re becoming a really good healthcare hub,” County Commission chairwoman Sandy Murman said, according to the Tampa Bay Times. “If you just look at our educational institutions they all have expanded their healthcare education programs. I think we’ve got the available workforce. I think that’s why you’re seeing [this kind of] expansion.”
