The City of Atlanta is pulling out all the stops in an effort to attract a payment processing company to Atlantic Station and bring over 1,000 new jobs to the area.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Invest Atlanta has approved $1.5 million in incentives directed towards WorldPay US, which are meant to draw the company away from its current regional headquarters Sandy Springs and into unused office space in Atlantic Station.

The Atlanta Business Chronicle says that WorldPay’s new U.S. headquarters, should it decide to relocate, would be at 201 17th St., a 17-story office tower that dominates the Atlantic Station skyline. WorldPay would bring about 1,200 jobs to the office tower, and is likely in negotiations to get its logo featured on the building.

Although no final decisions have been made, the Chronicle says that WorldPay is in lease negotiations with 201 17th St.’s owners CRBE Global Investors.
