TUCSON, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GEICO hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony today to celebrate the opening of its new building at 3050 S. Martin Luther King Way in The Bridges development in Tucson.

“We recently became Arizona’s largest auto insurer,” said Bill Roberts, GEICO president and CEO. “We’ll be looking for even more talented associates to join us in Tucson soon, and this beautiful new building will be home for our growing number of associates who are making history for GEICO.”
