Georgia's Real Estate Boom Has a Complexity Problem

Georgia's Department of Economic Development recently reported that the State posted its second consecutive record year for business investment in fiscal year 2026. The Global Commerce team supported 436 new locations and expansions , representing roughly $35.2 billion in investment, up from $26.3 billion the year before, including an estimated 25,300 new jobs. Seventy-five percent of those projects were outside the 10-county Atlanta metro region. The Port of Savannah closed out its second busiest year on record in 2025 , handling nearly 5.7 million TEUs, trailing only 2022. The Georgia Ports Authority is in the process of expansion, with a new inland rail terminal set to open later this year. The headlines have covered the growth well. What they've missed is what this growth looks like from the closing table. For attorneys, the practical consequence is that deals in these markets now start earlier and carry more moving parts. Clients in these markets are counting on counsel to set expectations, sequence the work, and flag problems before they become delays. Looking ahead, deals in Georgia's secondary markets are likely to be shaped by three forces: whether the lenders and other professionals involved have the capacity to take on the work,

Georgia Power disputes Sierra Club report on fossil fuel plans

A recent report from the Sierra Club gave Georgia Power an F grade for the fourth consecutive year, citing the utility's continued reliance on fossil fuels and limited planned expansion of renewable energy. The claims are disputed by the state's largest power generator, which says the report fails to acknowledge the utility's efforts to keep down costs for ratepayers while remaining a reliable source for electricity. According to the environmental group's 2026 Dirty Truth Report , Georgia Power scored poorly due to continued use of nonrenewable energy. The report evaluates utilities nationwide based on their plans to retire coal-fired power plants, add renewable energy, and avoid building new natural gas generation. More: How Augusta residents can lower energy bills as cooler weather arrives The report analyzed 76 utilities nationwide, which collectively scored 7 out of 100. Sierra Club said that was the lowest overall score since the report was first published in January 2021 and eight points lower than last year. The Sierra Club, a national environmental organization, advocates for clean energy and policies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Under the report's methodology, utilities earn points by committing to retire coal plants by 2030 and add clean energy resources
