Why is the Chamber’s HQ located in the Southern US?

The cosmopolitan city of Atlanta, Georgia represents the largest economic center of the Southern United States. With over 5 million residents and 120,000 companies, this region offers ideal conditions for both American and international companies.

The business environment of the region is characterized for its low residential and commercial real estate costs, educated workforce, economic incentives and Fortune 500 company headquarters. In addition to this, the Southern US enjoys an excellent transportation infrastructure comparable to the best highways that can be found in the world. Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is the busiest airport in the world and has the best flight connections that can be found in the USA. The Southeastern region also has two of the largest container ports in the US. One in Savannah, Georgia and the other in Charleston, South Carolina which are both located along the Atlantic Coast.

Metro Atlanta has a large presence of Russian-community-operated businesses, which includes professions such as lawyers, auditors, CPAs, doctors, financial institutions, insurance and real estate brokers. This is particularly important for small-to medium-size Russian companies and the CIS international corporations expanding toward the US.

In addition to the advantages offered to companies, this region draws in a large community of young people due to the high standard of living and low living costs. As a result, metro Atlanta has experienced a large population growth and is now deemed as one of the fastest growing regions in the US. Read more
