These companies have something in common. They have all recently chosen a Metro Atlanta location for their new facilities or as the place they relocated existing operations. They made Metro Atlanta their choice after a competitive evaluation of options in other cities. This is the highest form of praise that Metro Atlanta has the right combination of low costs, business services, quality of life and talent they need to operate and grow their businesses.
