Call us "transaction alley." Every time you swipe a credit card, you're contributing to a leading industry in our region. Today, an industry executive writes that 70 percent of the nation's credit card purchases are processed in Georgia. Also, the Gwinnett Chamber president touts that county's growing economic ties with South Korea and an upcoming business trip to East Asia. To comment, go to: http://blogs.ajc.com/atlanta-forward/
