“This office will provide additional space for growth for our team and will enable us to enhance collaboration by co-locating key functions,” WestRock CEO Steve Vorhees said in a news release. “Access to MARTA and key transportation hubs will also benefit our employees in the region.”

WestRock Co. was formed in 2015 when longtime Gwinnett County company Rock-Tenn merged with Richmond, Virginia-based MeadWestvaco Corporation. Its pending relocation to Northpark Town Center — a tower complex near Ga. 400 and Abernathy Road that’s not far from the Sandy Springs MARTA station — would be just the latest local example of a major companies moving operations in order to have easier access to transit.
