en.Wedoany.com Reported - Firearm design manufacturer Rideout Arsenal plans to invest $22 million to build a new manufacturing facility in Thomasville, Georgia, a project expected to create 120 jobs over the next several years.

The Virginia-based company specializes in competition pistols.

Founders Travis and Kelsey Rideout stated that recent legislation passed in Virginia created significant uncertainty for the company, ultimately forcing them to seek a state where they could continue operations, investment, and growth, and that this relocation was not part of the original plan.

Rideout Arsenal will locate its new facility in the Plantation Oak Industrial Park and plans to add more buildings in the coming years. The company will hire personnel in production, engineering, administration, and management roles.

Tina Herring, Assistant Director of Existing Industry and Regional Recruitment for the Georgia Department of Economic Development (GDEcD), represented the department on this competitive project, in partnership with the Thomasville-Thomas County Payroll Development Authority (PDA) and Georgia Quick Start.
