ATLANTA - Gov. Nathan Deal says Katy, Texas-based Academy Sports + Outdoors will expand its existing operation in Jeffersonville in Twiggs County, creating 250 new jobs. This project expands the sporting goods, outdoor and lifestyle retailer's Jeffersonville distribution center by more than 500,000 square feet.

Academy Sports + Outdoors expanded its distribution center operations to Twiggs County in 2007. The company employs 625 associates in its existing 1.1 million-square-foot facility. In 2011, Academy Sports + Outdoors added an e-commerce center at its Jeffersonville facility, which serves as the fulfillment center for its online retail business.

Construction to expand the company's Jeffersonville distribution center is expected to be completed by June.
