rapid growth is given as the reason for the move to a

larger space.

"Fayette

County has become home to the majority of the Group VI

employees and we were trying to locate near our labor

force," said Pace. "Peachtree City, known for

its excellent quality of life, was the logical choice.

"Henry

County has been very good to Group VI for over a

decade," he added. "We plan to maintain a

strong presence in the market and with our many friends,

clients and associates."

Pace has

been active in many civic and professional organizations

throughout the community. Having recently completed a

four-year term on the City Council of Peachtree City, he

was named 1999 Fayette County Businessman of the Year by

the Fayette County Chamber of Commerce.

Group VI is

among the largest construction companies in the Atlanta

region and was named the seventh fastest-growing

privately held company in the area during 1999 by the

Atlanta Business Chronicle.
