Georgia’s Economic Development Playbook: Essentials for Winning Teams
One Community’s Comeback Story: Is Cartersville-Bartow known for its many museums, for sports tourism, for 185 years of manufacturing, for charming downtowns, for education-workforce innovations, for recoveries from multiple recessions yielding double-digest unemployment, or all of the above?
Long considered a ‘team sport,’ Economic Development comes in many traditional and non-traditional forms. Learn more about how strategic use of programs from the state’s ‘playbook’ and collaborative leadership helped one Georgia community overcome challenges to win the long game, rebuilding a winning atmosphere for economic development successes.
