    Georgia information

    Georgia development profile (Site Selection magazine, January 2008)
    Even as the Southeast drought lingered into November, corporate investors either didn't notice or already had their water-supply concerns addressed to their satisfaction. A slew of new plant announcements late in 2007 underscored Georgia's second-place finish in Site Selection's annual business climate ranking, which appears in the November 2007 issue.

    Georgia Reigns in State Competition Index (Site Selection magazine, January 2007)
    The Laffer State Competitive Environment ranked Georgia the most competitive of the 50 states in its annual analysis of seven economic factors at work in the states as of March 2006... The Laffer model is similar to the index used in Site Selection's annual Competitiveness Award
