BlueGrace Logistics, a transportation management service provider, is expanding its Hillsborough County headquarters, with plans to hire 100 new employees by 2017. Hillsborough County commissioners and state officials provided BlueGrace with $300,000 in incentives, which will be distributed over a six-year period based on the creation of jobs with a minimum average salary of a little less than $55,000. The new jobs created will be in technology, accounting, legal and professional services. BlueGrace currently employs 165 people at its Riverview headquarters, as well as other offices across the country.
“BlueGrace Logistics is emerging as one of Hillsborough County’s great entrepreneurial success stories,” said Ronald Vaughn, chair of the Tampa Hillsborough Economic Development Corp. “In just six years, they have built one of the most progressive transportation and supply chain management companies in the country by developing superior technologies to serve the freight industry’s needs.”
