More than 1,500 metro Atlanta leaders and officials attended the recent Atlanta Regional Commission’s (ARC) 2025 State of the Region to get a status check and discuss critical challenges look ahead. The theme of this year’s event was “Innovation Unleashed,” something the ARC has deemed as critical in the years and decades ahead, with continued growth and pressure on traffic and greenspace.
“I want to encourage all of you to keep striving and keep innovating. This is essential. No one can tell with any certainty what the future will hold. But we do know that change will be a constant,” said ARC Executive Director & CEO Anna Roach. “Tackling tomorrow’s challenges will require a spirit of ingenuity. A tolerance for risk. The ability to shift and be nimble. Not to mention old-fashioned grit and determination. I know that all of you, and our great region, have what it takes to unleash innovation, now and in the years to come.”
