NJ OKs $33M tax credit to lure call center to Atlantic City

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) -- New Jersey has approved $33 million in tax credits for a company that will locate a call center in Atlantic City and create more than 300 jobs.

The New Jersey Economic Development Authority approved the incentives Thursday for Atlantic City Contact Center, LLC.

The Press of Atlantic City reports the company is a subsidiary of Hollygold Associates, which operates multiple contact centers in the Philippines and on the west coast of the United States.

The company plans to install a 200-seat customer service center and hire 322 new full-time employees.

It will receive $3.27 million per year over a 10-year period through the Grow New Jersey Assistance Program.
