On January 15, the City of Columbus, along with a team from Georgia Tech hosted an engagement workshop as part of the GA Smart Communities Challenge. In June of 2019, Columbus was selected as one of four communities chosen by the Georgia Tech initiative to implement cutting-edge smart technologies in Georgia communities. The Georgia Smart Communities Challenge provides seed funding, access to technical assistance, expert advice, and a Georgia Tech research partner to conduct research and advise each team.

Thank You to Our GA Smart Partners!
We believe all communities can be smart. Through the integration of technology and data, communities of various sizes, geographies, and development can be empowered to improve their quality of life. That is why we have pulled together a cross-sectoral partnership to raise awareness and knowledge, develop networks, and implement smart projects. This monthly newsletter is part of this greater effort!
