Aerotropolis Target Industries
Because a strong workforce is a key driver of economic development and an indication of economic health, the Aerotropolis Atlanta Blueprint Compass was developed as a framework for our workforce development initiatives. It calls out the primary industries in proximity and directly related to airport activities.
Not only do we target these industries for location and expansion in the Aerotropolis footprint, but we also aim to connect employers in these industries to the resources they need to succeed.
