Jazz 91.9 WCLK is proud to partner with the Georgia Chamber of Commerce (GCC) to provide regular updates about Georgia business developments and opportunities. The messaging will air on Fridays and will be available online at WCLK.com beginning November 20.
For the third consecutive year, Georgia has been named the number one state in the nation to do business in by Site Selection magazine. The magazine is a leading economic development trade publication. Each November, Site Selection releases rankings for the top states to do business. Georgia has been ranked among the top 10 states in Site Selection’s business climate rankings throughout the last decade, holding the top spot for the last two years.
Site Selection’s third-time number one ranking speaks volumes to Georgia’s business friendly environment, world class infrastructure network, top-notch academic institutions, nationally-ranked training programs and vibrant socioeconomic culture.
The State of Georgia also received another win recently. The U.S. House passed a bipartisan, multiyear Surface Transportation Reauthorization and Reform Act (STRR) by an overwhelming vote of 363-64. The STRR Act has an estimated $340 billion in highway and transit funding. The passage of this bill is important because, transportation is a critical component of economic growth and job creation.
