The Mayor’s Vision
Atlanta is a city on the move. It is one of the fastest growing economies and has some of the best quality of life in the country. Atlanta is rapidly becoming the smartest place to start or grow a business, the best place to raise a family and a vibrant home for arts, culture and entertainment. Mayor Dickens’ progressive Moving Atlanta Forward agenda is an approach centered on opportunity, safety and investment for the future. It embraces innovation and is rooted in equity.
