DCEDC 2022 YEAR IN REVIEW


We are pleased to share that 2022 was another remarkable year of economic growth for DeKalb County. Last year, 17 attraction and expansion projects yielded capital investment of $826,158,822 (2nd highest year in DCEDC's 35-year history), and the development of 1,901,068 SF (3rd highest year, behind 2021/2020). Job creation since 2020 is more than 1100. We invite you to view Executive Director Paul Borek's annual report by clicking on the embedded link. 2022 Business Development Update.


2023 is on track to be another remarkable year of business development for DeKalb County. Currently, there are six active projects underway, and fifteen other projects in the process. Capital investment is projected to be more than $1.7 billion which should result in 800+ new jobs. Business development contributes to the county tax base, thereby reducing the tax burden from property owners.


These accomplishments have been made possible by significant developer interest, the tremendous amount of DeKalb County competitive advantages, strong incentive programs, expeditious and responsive work by our host communities, and the financial support of our 215+ public/private members.


Our membership campaign is underway. This years' goal is $316,050. DCEDC is grateful for your past and future support. If you are pleased with our work, but have not been a contributing member, or have not returned to membership in the past few years, we warmly welcome you to join existing members as we champion economic development throughout DeKalb County together!
