Moving Atlanta Forward
Q: What makes Atlanta special? Atlanta is a way of life. We are a vibe. A place to put down roots, launch a business, raise a family and build a home. We have more than 240 unique neighborhoods, over 20,000 small businesses and a beautiful diversity. My team goes to work each day committed to moving Atlanta forward and cementing our spot on the map as one of the most welcoming and accessible cities in the world. We’re a group project focused on investing in sustainable infrastructure, cultivating a culture of integrity and innovation, opening doors to new opportunities and ensuring trust and safety for all. By drawing circles and pulling more chairs to the table we bring people together and foster an incredible sense of pride in our place – the foundation on which anything is possible. Q: Describe how Invest Atlanta translates your vision into reality. Invest Atlanta is the economic and community development agency for the City of Atlanta. It is unique in that it’s one of only three entities in the United States that focuses on both economic and community development. My team works hand in hand with Invest Atlanta to weave together resources and build coalitions with public, private and philanthropic partners. Together we are working to establish Atlanta as one of the top five tech hubs in the world, increase access to fresh food, create more affordable housing and welcome the world to visit and do business here among many other goals. Invest Atlanta has a hand in all of this.
As the 61st mayor of Atlanta, Andre Dickens has big aspirations for the city and wants every Atlantan to share in its growth and prosperity.
