Welcome
to Savannah, Georgia's First City, a historic city with a
revered past, a vibrant present and an exciting future. Savannah
has an atmosphere and charm fostered by residents who have
cherished and preserved its past. Our love of history is
embodied in the beautifully restored homes, churches and public
buildings that grace the city's unique, tree-filled squares, and
that affection has given rise to a tourism industry that's
boomed dramatically since the mid-90s.
Energized
by the upsurge in tourism and
other positive economic factors, we have entered the 21st century in the
enviable position of being able to use our past to enhance our present and
future. Our Landmark Historic District is in the midst of a commercial
revitalization that is spreading to the midtown Victorian District and spilling
over into the eastside islands, the fast-growing Southside and the
industrialized areas west of Savannah.
Savannah
is not only a top tourist destination but also an ideal city for business or
family. Our diverse economy forms a strong business and employment base ranging
from manufacturing to distribution, from tourism to military, from healthcare to
port operations and retail sectors.
Savannah
is home to Hunter Army Airfield and Fort Stewart military bases. Combined the
two bases employee more than 42,000 people and generate an annual direct federal
expenditure of $1.4 billion dollars. We support our military through various
councils.
As
Savannah flourishes with an assorted economy, our need for a trained workforce
rises.
