Unique Leasing Inc. and Pillar Technology Group are promising to add jobs in Columbus in exchange for incentive deals.

Columbus City Council has approved two incentive deals that could bring 77 new jobs to the city and retain nearly 100 in the region.

Council members on Monday night approved a five-year, 25 percent Jobs Growth Incentive for Texas-based Unique Leasing Inc. and a five-year, 50 percent Downtown Office Incentive to Pillar Technology Group.

Unique Leasing plans to relocate its London trucking operations to 3879 Fisher Road in west Columbus. The move involves the relocation of 37 jobs and the creation of 43, according to the city.

The Pillar Technology software development and consulting business plans to create 40 full-time positions above the 56 jobs it has in the Smith Brothers Hardware Co. building at 580 N. Fourth St.
