General Assembly is cancelling a planned operations centre in Georgia due to the state’s recent legislation barring transgender people from using bathrooms that do not correspond with the gender on their birth certificates. The new centre, representing an investment of $ 3.6 m, would have employed over 400 people. As we reported March , over 400 CEOs and business leaders have written to the state’s General Assembly and Governor, Chris Fitzsimon , calling for a repeal of the law. Schulman was among the CEOs who signed the letter. It is believed that other companies may also cancel plans for expansion in the state.
