Governor Brian P. Kemp announced Monday another year of steady growth for business recruitment and expansions in Fiscal Year 2025.
Between July 1, 2024, and June 30 of this year, the Georgia Department of Economic Development’ ‘s (GDEcD) Global Commerce team supported 423 facility expansions and new locations. These commitments represent more than $26.3 billion in investments, a new record, and 23,200 new private-sector jobs.
“Georgia has been the No. 1 state for business for over a decade because of our unmatched ability to attract new companies and create an environment where existing employers can grow and thrive,” Kemp said.
Expansions at existing Georgia companies accounted for 74% of projects, building on an estimated 50,000 jobs already employing Georgians.
