Clayton County Economic Development Strategic Plan Public Forum

Clayton County community leaders have begun development of a new strategic plan intended to guide the county's economic development efforts during the years ahead. The eight-step planning process began with the community forum in July facilitated by economic development specialists from the Georgia Institute of Technology. The Clayton County Chamber of Commerce and Development Authority of Clayton County serve as co-chairs of the planning process.

The plan will recommend ways that the county can take advantage of its many economic development strengths, including Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport; transportation and logistics assets such as access to air transportation, an extensive rail network, and Interstate highway connections; location at the center of the metropolitan Atlanta area; a strong core of established industry; a growing four-year public university, and a water system with sufficient capacity.

Join us to learn more about the planning process and share your thoughts. The meeting is complimentary and open to the community.

There will be a second Public Forum on Thursday, December 6th at Mundy's Mill High School (9652 Fayetteville Road, Jonesboro)
