Ga. Gov. Brian Kemp (R) pointed to the Peach State’s continued economic health in his 2025 State of the State address on Jan. 16.
He said Georgia had withstood unforeseen challenges, including a pandemic and major weather disasters, while retaining its number one ranking as the best state to do business for the 11th year.
Kemp’s speech highlighted the broad strokes of the state’s economic picture, past and future, and included a call to lower the personal income tax to 5.19% from the current 5.39%.
