FY 2025 Year in Review: Georgia’s Momentum, Partnerships, and Progress

As a new year begins, the Georgia Department of Economic Development has released its Fiscal Year 2025 Year in Review—a concise snapshot of the momentum building across the state.

From thriving urban hubs to growing rural communities, the report highlights how strategic partnerships, job creation, and a diverse mix of industries continue to fuel Georgia’s success. The message is clear: record-breaking achievements are the result of collaboration among state partners, small businesses, and local communities working toward shared goals.

This year’s feature stories bring that progress to life, spotlighting Georgia artists and creative gifts, the opening of the Hyundai Mobility Training Center of Georgia, national recognition for the state’s business climate, and the rising profile of North Georgia’s wineries.

As Georgia looks ahead to 2026, the Year in Review underscores a strong foundation—and a future defined by innovation, opportunity, and continued collaboration.
