Georgia – Based on a survey conducted by Site Selection Magazine, Georgia ranks as the top state for the Best Business Climate. This distinction separates the Peach State from its national rivals in the field of business and economic growth, therefore attesting to a major accomplishment for it.
Separate from the annual state rankings of Site Selection Magazine, the survey concentrates just on the opinions of site selection experts. Georgia’s great appeal to corporations is shown by these professionals, who play an important role in determining where businesses will set and grow their operations.
Emphasizing that this acknowledgement highlights the success of Georgia’s approach to promote job creation and economic growth, Governor Brian Kemp reacted to the news with enthusiasm.

Commissioner of the Georgia Department of Economic Development Pat Wilson underlined the teamwork that contributed to this result.
