On the economic front, Georgia's economy is projected to grow by 2.4% in 2025, slightly slower than the 3.1% growth seen in 2024 but still outpacing the national average. The state's unemployment rate is expected to increase marginally from 3.7% to 4%, remaining below the national level. Healthcare and housing sectors are poised to lead economic growth, with homebuilders expected to increase single-family home construction by 9%[8].
In a significant development for the state's ports, a recent economic impact study by the University of Georgia's Terry College of Business revealed that port activity now supports over 600,000 jobs across Georgia, an 8.6% increase from 2021. This translates to one in eight jobs statewide being related to the Savannah and Brunswick ports[1].
Environmental concerns are also making headlines. The Georgia Department of Transportation is seeking public feedback on a proposed passenger rail line connecting Atlanta and Savannah, potentially reducing carbon emissions and easing traffic congestion[1]. Meanwhile, the Environmental Protection Agency's recent rollbacks could alter regulations for Georgia's coal-fired power plants, raising concerns about potential health impacts[6].
Weather-wise, Georgia experienced a colder-than-average January, with temperatures below normal from coast to coast. A notable cold outbreak brought temperatures well below freezing to the Gulf Coast, following a record-breaking southern snowstorm. Looking ahead to February, forecasts suggest above-average temperatures across the southern and eastern parts of the state, with increased chances of above-average precipitation in northern Georgia[17].
Looking ahead, Georgia's political sphere is set to become even more dynamic as Lucy McBath, a Democratic congresswoman, has taken the first step toward a run for governor by launching an exploratory committee[19]. This move signals the beginning of what promises to be an eventful gubernatorial race. Additionally, both Delta Air Lines and Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport will be celebrating their 100th anniversaries in 2025, with major celebrations planned throughout the year[12]. These milestones are expected to highlight the crucial role both entities have played in fueling metro Atlanta's economic growth and global prominence.
