Area Firms Recognized by AEDC The Atlanta Economic Development Corporation hosted a "Manufacturers Luncheon & Roundtable" on October 7, 2003 involving area manufacturers, community officials, the leadership of the various area economic development organizations and a panel of development, manufacturing, workforce training and financial specialist.
