Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful recently hosted Governor Brian Kemp for his annual thoughts on the state of the environment in Georgia.

Highlighting its impact on economic growth, Kemp believes Georgia’s environment makes the state attractive to a growing number of companies. Recognized as a national leader in the Electric Vehicle industry and designated as #3 in the country for environmental sustainability by Site Selection Magazine, Georgia has gained the attention of companies like Rivian and Hyundai Motor Group. The creation of the Georgia Electric Mobility and Innovation Alliance in July 2021 will continue to pave the way for electric mobility infrastructure in the state.
