Local industry leaders were recognized for their economic impact in 2024
Partnership Gwinnett, the region’s leading local economic development initiative, recently celebrated more than 1,600 new jobs, representing $275M in capital, with a company reception. Sponsored by Hogan Construction Group, the event honored those businesses that chose to locate or expand in Gwinnett County in 2024.
This year’s gathering welcomed companies across the initiative’s target sectors, each playing a pivotal role in driving economic growth, creating jobs and enhancing the local business ecosystem.
Among the companies honored were Elemaster, GreenBoom, maeirAMERICA, McKesson, NanoLumens, OFS, RealTruck, Sortimo and Thermacell.
“When companies choose Gwinnett, they are choosing to grow in a community known for its global access, a labor draw of 2.6 million people, globally renowned educational institutions and an inclusive quality of life,” said Andrew Hickey, director of economic development at Partnership Gwinnett.
“We are excited to have these companies growing and expanding in our community and look forward to building on this year’s success in 2025.”
Nonprofit partners
In addition to celebrating corporate achievements, the event also recognized key nonprofit partners that collaborate with Partnership Gwinnett, including Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Atlanta, Explore Gwinnett, Home of Hope GCS and Positive Impact International.
These organizations play a crucial role in supporting the economic development efforts and overall well-being of Gwinnett County.
Commitment and growth
As Gwinnett continues to attract top-tier businesses and foster a pro-growth environment, Partnership Gwinnett remains committed to supporting corporate expansions, workforce development and economic sustainability.
Looking ahead, the award-winning initiative will host the annual Economic Outlook on March 27, featuring Dr. Alfie Meek with the Georgia Tech Enterprise Innovation Institute.
Registration and sponsorship opportunities for that event are available online at partnershipgwinnett.com.
