BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Ameritas Technologies said Tuesday it will open an information technology center in Baton Rouge, a move they expect will create at least 300 direct jobs with an average pay of $63,000.

The startup company’s CEO, Brian Keane, said Ameritas will receive a state economic development grant of $125,000 per year over a 10-year period to offset leasing costs at the Chase Tower in the downtown area. The company will also get tax breaks through the state’s Quality Jobs and Digital Interactive Media and Software Development incentives.
