Georgia Power Economic Development

On Friday, we joined our friends and partners across the state for the 2026 Georgia Logistics Summit in Savannah, where industry leaders, site selectors, and economic developers came together to explore what’s next for supply chains, infrastructure, and global connectivity. The message was clear: speed, certainty, and scalability are no longer advantages, they’re expectations.

But Georgia remains at a distinct advantage when it comes to transportation. Here are just a few of our many takeaways from last week's event:

• Intermodal connectivity is Georgia’s edge — Seamless integration across road, rail, air, and the Port of Savannah continues to position the state as a global logistics hub
• Infrastructure investment is paying off — Strategic improvements across Georgia’s transportation network are unlocking faster, more efficient movement of goods statewide
• Georgia continues to innovate - from connected roadways and signals to workforce development programs and nurturing the next generation of supply chain startups, Georgia is poised to be a leader in the supply chain and logistics space for years to come.

We’re proud to support this momentum, and investing in the infrastructure, energy solutions, and partnerships that keep Georgia competitive in a rapidly evolving supply chain landscape.

Special thanks to our friends at the Georgia Center of Innovation for putting on an amazing event

🌍 With Georgia’s economy evolving, institutions focused on innovation and elevation are crucial to sustainable growth, and make a direct and immediate impact on the state's economy. University of Georgia reported a record $9.2B economic impact in 2025, underscoring the value of research, innovation, and talent in fueling statewide growth. We’re proud of our partners at UGA, and proud to be a part of a partnership that isn’t just about jobs — but about building ecosystems where business, education, and community thrive together.

Georgia continues to set the standard as a best-in-class logistics hub, and we’re not slowing down.

This week, Governor Brian Kemp announced a major transportation initiative designed to improve I-75 through Henry and Clayton counties, easing congestion along one of Georgia’s most critical freight corridors.

Strategic investments like this strengthen supply chains, improve speed to market, and reinforce why Georgia remains the top choice for companies that depend on reliable, efficient logistics. We’re proud to celebrate the infrastructure that keeps Georgia business moving forward. 🚚📦
