As Georgia grows and becomes increasingly diverse, the need for livable, affordable and sustainable communities that provide opportunities for all citizens grows along with it.

Georgia’s community development initiatives are broad and inclusive. We take pride in the local, regional and statewide programs that promote jobs, education, quality housing, and a sense of community for people from all walks of life.

Businesses, municipalities and non-profit organizations throughout the state work hand-in-hand and with the state to develop long-range strategies to improve existing community-development resources or to create new ones. Still, we believe the best communities are built with participation by those whose lives are touched by these efforts; outreach programs ensure that connectivity.

If you’re expanding a business or looking to relocate here, we encourage you to get involved in the rewarding activities behind community development. You’re likely to find your growth has a direct impact on improving the lives of many.
