She has helped create over 52,000 jobs and preserve nearly 11,000 units of affordable housing — and she’s not slowing down. Dr. Eloisa Klementich is the President and CEO of Invest Atlanta, the city’s economic development authority, and on this episode of Tharon’s Take she sits down for a real conversation about what it actually takes to build a competitive, equitable city.
We’re talking economic development, affordable housing, small business growth, and what Atlanta’s future looks like as one of the fastest growing cities in the country. Dr. Klementich has spent her career working at the highest levels of government and economic development, from Los Angeles to Mexico City to Atlanta, and she brings that perspective into this conversation.
This episode is for anyone who wants to understand how Atlanta actually works behind the scenes — and who’s making sure the growth benefits everybody, not just a few.
