12 regions across the state are hosting the workshops. The Middle Georgia group spent the day talking about their area’s strengths and weaknesses.
Georgia Chamber of Commerce President Chris Clark says last week in Albany they talked about agribusiness, and in Macon they’ll highlight defense contracting and logistics.

Clark says he disagrees with the notion of two Georgia’s, meaning Atlanta and everywhere else. He says all parts of the state depend on each other to grow with things like the port, railways, and highways.
