Forward Air Corp. is investing $4.3 million toward renovating a new office in Greeneville, Tennessee, which will add��105 new jobs over the next five years. Most of the new jobs will support financial operations and customer service, according to the company.

“We bought a large company called Towne Air Freight last year. Towne really maxed our capacity. It was time to expand and invest in our future growth,” Chief Financial Officer Michael Morris said.

The new office will add 50,000 square feet of space, located less than a mile from the old office. Renovations are nearly complete,��Morris said, and the company expects to be fully transitioned into the new space by the end of 2016.

Forward Air ranks No. 35 on the Transport Topics Top 100 list of the largest for-hire carriers in the United States and Canada.��
