Celebrate Economic Development Week with Decide DeKalb

Economic Development Week, launched by the International Economic Development Council (IEDC) in 2016, is a time to recognize the vital role economic developers play in building thriving, dynamic communities.

From May 12-16, 2025, cities across North America will spotlight the innovation, collaboration, and growth driven by these efforts—and DeKalb County is joining the celebration!

Throughout the week, Decide DeKalb will shine a spotlight on the businesses, leaders, and projects shaping our local economy. They’re kickstarter the week off at your fav' “not a coffee shop” gilly brew bar in Stone Mountain Village, on Monday, May 12th from 9a - 11a. Join us for free beverages during that time!
