Regional Economic Competitiveness Strategy

Duluth

The Atlanta region has enjoyed tremendous economic growth in recent decades and has positioned itself among the most competitive regions in the world.

Metro Atlanta has much going for it. It is home world-class universities, numerous Fortune 500 headquarters, and the world’s most travelled airport.

ARC helped facilitate the creation of the Atlanta Regional Economic Competitiveness Strategy. The goal of this effort: providing a roadmap for navigating economic challenges while building on strengths to remain competitive for jobs and workers.

The key to the continued success and economic growth of the Atlanta region is collaboration. Local governments, businesses, economic development professionals, school systems and nonprofits must work together if metro Atlanta is to remain globally competitive.
