Healthcare provider Kaiser Permanente announced Thursday it will bring a health information technology hub to Midtown Atlanta.

Most of the 900 new jobs are tech-related, company officials say. And those jobs pay well – an average of $107,000 a year.

Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed says the city’s reputation as a health IT center meant officials didn’t have to sweeten the pot very much to attract Kaiser.

“We provided about $300,000 in incentives today for 900 net new jobs,” Reed says. “I think that most folks at home will think that’s a good investment.”

Kaiser officials say the brain power coming from the area’s colleges and universities was a deciding factor in choosing Atlanta. They also praised Atlanta as being business-friendly.

The company will move into Pershing Point at 1375 Peachtree Street.
