ECG Location Georgia

𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵!

We were proud to join the City of Acworth, Georgia, city leaders, development partners, and community members yesterday for the official groundbreaking of the SpringHill Suites by Marriott in downtown Acworth.

This is a huge win for The Lake City and a reflection of everything Acworth has been building toward. The new all-suite hotel, part of the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio, will bring a premier hospitality option to one of metro Atlanta's most actively growing downtown corridors.

The project is a direct reflection of the city's years of intentional investment in its downtown infrastructure, public spaces, and business environment, and a powerful signal that private investment continues to follow communities that do the work.

We are proud to stand alongside Acworth as a trusted economic development partner, and even prouder to watch moments like this one unfold.

Congratulations to the entire Acworth team.

Grant and funding opportunities are constantly changing, and keeping up with them can be a challenge. We compile a list of funding opportunities that may be relevant to our and their economic development needs.

These resources may help our communities identify potential funding sources that align with their local priorities. Take a look at this month's featured opportunities to see what might be a fit.

Grants & Funding Opportunities | June 2026 Our June 2026 opportunities for Georgia Energy Cities include FEMA funding for public and firefighter safety.

What started with a conversation turned into plans, which turned into groundwork, and groundwork turned into open doors!

The Element Hotel by Marriott - Bainbridge, the newest hotel in the region, welcomed its very first guests this week, and what a beauty it is.

Moments like this don't happen overnight. They don't happen alone. And they never happen without the kind of partnerships built on trust, a shared vision, and an unwavering belief in what a community can become.

Our are proof that when partnerships lead, progress follows. The best is yet to come. Congratulations, City of Bainbridge, GA - Government.
