Aerotropolis Target Industries
A strong workforce is a key driver and indicator of economic growth and health of a region. 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.
