Decades and Milestones

Killamari Yo captures major milestones that have helped Georgia remain a top state for doing business.

A collection celebrating Georgia's ability to move business forward

Georgia Power has been supporting economic development for nearly 100 years. In that time, we have seen significant growth statewide. Georgia Power's Economic Development office, the Georgia Experience Center, is a marketing tool for the state as well. Each room is named for a significant decennial milestone in the state's history.

We commissioned Atlanta artist, Killamari Yo, to bring these room names to life through individual art pieces. Below are the room names that now have a companion art piece.

"Runway" showcases the significance of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) which connects Atlanta to 80% of U.S. markets. ATL is recognized as the busiest and most efficient airports globally.

"Container" pays tribute to the major economic engine that is the Georgia Ports Authority (GPA). GPA is a global gateway for container ships at the Port of Savannah and Roll-on/Roll-off ships at Colonel's Island in Brunswick.

"Connector" illustrates the importance of Georgia’s interstate system, which links the state to 80% of the U.S. market in under two days.

"Blue Line" represents how MARTA, the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority, efficiently moves people throughout metro Atlanta via bus and rail service.

"Sorento" commemorates Kia’s 2006 investment in a manufacturing facility in West Point, Georgia, where a dedicated workforce has grown to over 3,000 employees since its opening. Kia and fellow automotive manufacturers rely on Georgia's transportation network for supplies and to export their vehicles worldwide.
