GL Solutions Secures Job Creation Grant from EDCO - Bend, Oregon Company Thriving and Growing in a Challenging Economy

Bend, OR, December 31, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The recent $9M award from North Carolina’s Department of Health and Human Services requires GL Solutions to make significant investments in order to increase staff and relocate prior to meeting contract obligations. In addition to hiring for (39) new positions, GL Solutions is moving to a new office location in the Awbrey Village commercial space later this month.

The Business Development Forgivable Loan Fund was created to increase employment and capital investment in Deschutes County and help offset the cost of business relocation to and within the region. These costs can include the moving of equipment, purchase or construction of facilities, and site improvements such as the extension of public service and utilities.

As the designated administrator of the Fund, EDCO accepts grant applications from private firms in manufacturing, high-technology, or technology-based businesses, which have more than 75% of customers outside Deschutes County. EDCO is a nonprofit organization dedicated to diversifying the economy in Central Oregon by attracting new investment and jobs. Fund grantees must create a minimum of five new primary, permanent family wage jobs and invest at least $5 of new, taxable investments for each $1 allocated.

GL Solutions serves over 45 clients in 18 states with GL Suite™; expert regulatory software and database systems tailored for state licensing boards and government agencies. GL Suite increases productivity and effectiveness of credentialing, compliance, inspection, enforcement and document management activities within many health and safety environments.

The company’s undivided attention to helping government agencies succeed through strategy, technology, and process excellence has resulted in growth for GL Solutions in the midst of Central Oregon’s challenging economy. The Business Development Forgivable Loan Fund will help GL Solutions offset office relocation expenses, as well as facilitate job creation and training.

“We feel that this growth of our company provides an excellent opportunity to invest more in Central Oregon’s economy,” stated Eric Staley, GL Solutions’ co-founder and VP of Business Solutions. “The Business Development Forgivable Loan helps us ‘bridge the gap’ with hiring more people, moving offices, purchasing new equipment and training our new employees.”

Software Developers, Quality Assurance, Configuration Specialists, and Sales are among the new positions that GL Solutions is expecting to fill. Job seekers are encouraged to visit www.glsolutions.com to learn more about opportunities at GL Solutions and how to apply for employment.
