NFIB: No Surprise Georgia Ranks No. 1 in Business Growth

NFIB State Director Hunter Loggins issued the following statement today in response to Venture Smarter’s ranking as the No. 1 state for business growth: “Georgia’s first-place finish doesn’t come as a surprise. Gov. Brian Kemp and legislative leaders have helped small businesses not only survive but grow and create jobs despite a host of challenges including the worst rate of inflation this country has seen in decades. “Our members fully expect that momentum to continue as the governor and lawmakers work to improve Georgia’s business climate. We support Governor Kemp’s call to stop frivolous lawsuits and reduce insurance premiums, and we’re encouraged by legislators’ commitment to addressing the state’s ongoing labor shortage and reducing tangible personal property tax rates. “These initiatives will ensure that Georgia remains a great state to open and grow a small business for years to come.”
