More than 25 members of the Cornerstone Regional Development Partnership, the economic arm of the Jacksonville Regional Chamber of Commerce, recently went to Atlanta for a two-day economic development mission to promote Northeast Florida as a pro-business environment.

Cornerstone Chair Greg Smith and Chamber Chair Mike Hightower led the mission that brought together business leaders from Florida and Georgia.

According to Cornerstone President Jerry Mallot, the trip’s purpose was to reintroduce Northeast Florida to an important group of executives in real estate and site consulting and to generate new business leads that will potentially create future job growth and business relocations or expansions to the region.

During the two-day trip, Cornerstone attendees met with more than 30 site selection consultants, real estate executives and companies.
