Analyzing Local, National Trends & Forecasting Georgia’s Economic Future
The construction industry is one of Georgia’s largest economic engines and it’s currently booming, which means the state’s economy is doing well . National reports show the lack of skilled labor is starting to pinch contractors’ ability to take on more projects. This issue which has the potential to dampen economic growth, yet we see no signs of a slowdown, especially in the Savannah marketplace and in metro  Atlanta. AGC Georgia is asking expert economists to share their thoughts on what’s ahead. Join us to learn how to answer questions from your clients and construction owners about materials pricing, the prospect of a new “bubble,” and what sectors look strong into 2017.
