These areas represent approximately 2.5 million Georgians living in all parts of the state.

?We would like to commend the city and county leaders throughout the state who have decided to give the people the right to choose what is best for their communities,? said GFIA President Kathy Kuzava, in a press release. ?This effort has always been about our industry?s desire to serve our customers.
