Alpharetta Introduces New Economic Development Campaign

ALPHARETTA, GA — Why do business in Alpharetta? A new video produced by the City of Alpharetta and the Alpharetta Convention & Visitors Bureau will be the centerpiece of communicating what makes Alpharetta a great place to start and grow a business. It is part of Alpharetta’s national campaign to recruit more businesses to the area. The name of the campaign is Uniquely Alpharetta.

“Alpharetta is a remarkable city for business and for people," City of Alpharetta Mayor Jim Gilvin said. "We realize that government doesn’t do innovation well. We can’t sustain growth without strong private sector participation. Government’s role is to provide a framework of where we want to be in the future and support the business climate that will allow the private sector to invest to help achieve that vision.”

Known throughout the country as the Technology City of the South, Alpharetta provides a blend of business and lifestyle. Over the years, Alpharetta has become a magnet for tech professionals looking to grow their career and raise a family. It boasts excellent schools, safety, recreation and no shortage of things to do. In addition, city leadership has been very intentional about keeping the delicate balance of work/live/play/visit. Alpharetta is a great place for tech to “grow up” – a tech hub that has retained its Southern charm. The talent base in Alpharetta is filled with seasoned professionals with proven work experience that meets the needs for technology businesses.

“Alpharetta was a no-brainer for us,” said Julie Haley, CEO of Edge Solutions. “It has so many technology workers per capita and it attracts the biggest and best technology companies in the country. There’s also a robust start up community. We partner, collaborate and solve problems together – it’s a great place for opportunity. We have everything we need right here in our own backyard to grow exponentially.”
