Economic Development is a team sport, and the Golden Isles has a winning team behind them. 

This past week Site Selection magazine recognized Georiga Power as one of the “Top Utilities in Economic Development.” Georgia Power has achieved this designation for 21 consecutive years. Their team of experts works with local communities, like the Golden Isles, to help with all aspects of business and community growth. 

Georgia Power is not the only partner of ours that is an MVP in Georgia’s Economic Development Engine. The hard work from state and local partners resulted in Georgia’s business climate being ranked the No. 1 State for Business from Area Development-CNBC-Site Selection for six consecutive years (2013-2018). 

One of the many areas that Georgia is strong in is our workforce development program. Georgia Quick Start is the nation’s #1 ranked training program available at no cost to qualified companies. 

In the Golden Isles, our training programs are topping the list too. Last year Coastal Pines Technical College was named the #1 Top Technical College by James Magazine and Lt Gov. Casey Cagle named the Golden Isles College and Career Academy the, “The 2019 College and Career Academy of the Year.

Businesses seldom grow in silos, and engaging partners in utilities, permitting, workforce, and more help save businesses time and resources when growing. Our new and existing businesses are fortunate to have a winning team working for their continued success.

Congratulations this week to our partners at Georgia Power for another achievement toward Georgia’s Economic Development team.
