Twenty-one industry project managers from the Georgia Department of Economic Development and Georgia Power recently visited the Athens area as part of a two-day bus tour of the region.

“Project Managers serve as the first point of contact for new industry looking to locate in the state of Georgia, so it’s important for them to experience a community’s cultural amenities first hand,” Ryan Moore, director of the Athens-Clarke County economic development department said in a statement.

While in Athens, the group went to a reception sponsored by the University of Georgia and dinner on The Classic Center Theatre stage with entertainment by Circle Ensemble Theatre and the band Saint Francis. The Athens-Clarke County Economic Development Department and Georgia Power coordinated to provide the dinner and entertainment. The trip also included a discussion with Mayor Nancy Denson on Athens-Clarke County as a location of choice for various industries and educational leaders spoke to the group about the Athens’ workforce and educational assets. It also included a bus tour of the area.

The regional bus tour, organized by Georgia Power, visited several northeast Georgia cities, including Gainesville, Cornelia and Hartwell.
