As we begin another year and another Legislative Session in Georgia this article is a stark reminder that the job of keeping Georgia competitive never ends. Other states are benchmarking and competing against us daily for jobs, investment and future prosperity. That's why this session the Georgia Chamber of Commerce will focus on strengthening our talent and workforce pipeline, building the infrastructure of the future and keeping the Peach State economically competitive!
