The Georgia Cities Foundation "Heart & Soul of Georgia" Bus Tour  is part of an overall effort to educate and inform state leaders on the importance of successful downtown development and its role in supporting economic development efforts for regions and communities.

 

Cities are chosen each year to participate because of the efforts they've made to create vibrant and strong communities through public-private partnerships.  The tour is part of an overall effort to educate and inform state leaders on the importance of successful downtown development and its role in supporting economic development efforts for regions and communities.

 

Each year business leaders, state legislators, philanthropists and other persons of interest are invited to join the tour. 

 

The tour takes place each April.
