Friday, August 14th, 2026
Republican nominee for governor Rick Jackson is proposing a state program aimed at revitalizing six historic Black business districts across Georgia.
Jackson announced his Legacy Corridors Initiative on Auburn Avenue in Atlanta Wednesday.
Jackson said he would create the designation through an executive order on his first day as governor. Each district would receive a designated person to help local businesses access state programs and other resources.
The plan would initially include Sweet Auburn, Augusta's Golden Blocks, West Broad Street in Savannah, Columbus' Liberty District, Albany's Harlem District and Cotton Avenue in Macon.
