Letter From Our CEO
An Atlanta for Us All
here’s a lot happening in Atlanta. We’re a city known for our hustle and our grit and are defined by a rich history and diverse cultural identity. As the unofficial capital of the South, we are growing in every direction and working with purpose to move Atlanta forward as an equitable, flourishing city for all. I am proud that Invest Atlanta is at the heart of this exciting and important effort. We work closely with Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens and City leadership to invest in all the things that make our beloved city thrive. Our investments support business development, affordable housing, small businesses, neighborhood revitalization and access to fresh food. They open doors to opportunity, upward mobility and a slice of the pie. With so much happening, some of Invest Atlanta’s work flies under the radar, which is why I’m so pleased to introduce VIA – a first-of-its kind, annual publication T
highlighting our investments, along with the personal stories and broader context on their importance to Atlanta’s future. We chose to name this publication VIA because much of our city’s growth and prosperity comes from Invest Atlanta. We have so many tools to meet people where they are and address their needs. Whether that’s paying off a senior’s property taxes, helping an entrepreneur launch a business or providing technical assistance to grow that business, Invest Atlanta can assist. In these pages you’ll learn more about your community and your neighbors, efforts to preserve our history and new developments that will attract visitors and businesses from around the world. I invite you to take a deep dive and discover all the ways Invest Atlanta is helping our city become the very best version of itself.
