Atlanta BeltLine, Inc., Invest Atlanta, and the City of Atlanta have collaborated to create a city-wide business survey which will provide valuable information for the economic development community to better serve business owners around the city. ETC Institute, a firm that helps local governments gather business data across the country, will conduct the survey and analysis. All data will be confidential and anonymized.

The survey, which is also translated into Spanish, will be inclusive of all businesses with focused efforts to ensure participation from legacy businesses, businesses in target equity areas, minority-owned businesses, small businesses, and others.

Upon completion of the data analysis, a comprehensive public report will be released, providing a detailed overview of the survey findings. The report will serve as a valuable resource for policymakers, city officials, business organizations and the wider community, facilitating informed decision-making and targeted policies to support business growth and development.

TAKE THE SURVEY

Here's your chance to get in on the inaugural event for East Atlanta Runs - with a Strut 5K sponsorship! 

Benefiting the East Atlanta Kids Club and other community organizations, the Strut 5k is poised to be an annual hit for East Atlanta and the surrounding communities. This race has already garnered a large following as it is the resurrection of a beloved tradition for EAV that tapered off in 2017. We are pleased to be brining it back with gusto!

The Strut 5k will take participants through historic East Atlanta Village and finish with a runners village complete with live music stages, vendors and beer! We're also coordinating with the East Atlanta Strut to make this a not-to-miss event. Encouraging participants to come for the run, stay for the fun! 

We need your help to make this inaugural event for East Atlanta Runs a success! Please consider a sponsorship to the Strut 5K.
