It’s Economic Development Week, and we’re highlighting the people helping shape the future of Sandy Springs.   Meet Chris Burnett, our Director of Economic Development.

From commercial development to creating more opportunities in our community, Chris plays a big role in keeping Sandy Springs a great place to live, work, and do business.   We’re grateful for Chris’s leadership and the work he does every day for our city.
