A RESOLUTION

Urging action to attract displaced federal workers to Georgia and to encourage federal investment in the state; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been headquartered in Atlanta since 1946, contributing to Georgia's role as a hub for public health and federal operations; and

WHEREAS, the presence of the CDC, along with various other federal offices in Georgia, has led to a highly skilled federal workforce within the state; and

WHEREAS, shifts in federal employment policies have resulted in changes to workforce distribution and agency operations across the country; and

WHEREAS, some federal agencies are exploring opportunities to relocate or establish offices in different regions; and

WHEREAS, Atlanta, as the capital of Georgia and a major economic and cultural center of the South, is well-positioned to serve as a strategic location for federal investment and workforce expansion; and

WHEREAS, Georgia seeks to strengthen its role as a national leader in innovation, economic development, and workforce growth; and

WHEREAS, attracting skilled federal employees to Georgia would benefit the state's workforce and economy while providing new opportunities for those affected by federal employment changes.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE that the members of this body urge all state departments, agencies, boards, and other instrumentalities to explore strategies to attract displaced federal employees to Georgia's workforce. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the members of this body encourage legislative action to support and incentivize employment opportunities for displaced federal workers in both public and private sectors within the state.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of the Senate is authorized and directed to make appropriate copies of this resolution available for distribution to the Governor, heads of state departments and agencies, and the public.
