Gov. Sonny Perdue helped usher in the recent expansion of Atlanta Gas Light (AGL) Company's Riverdale call center on Tuesday morning. Perdue, along with other state and local officials, welcomed 74 new local jobs, created when the company ended a four-year outsourcing agreement.

Perdue, AGL Resources President and CEO John Somerhalder, II, and Georgia Public Service Commission Chairman Lauren "Bubba" McDonald, participated in a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the center. The facility, located at 540 Ga. Highway 138, S.W., underwent a renovation to accommodate the 74 new call-center workers.
