State-backed projects totaled about $35.2 billion, with existing-company expansions accounting for most of the activity.
Existing-company expansions were 79% of projects and represented about $24.7 billion in investment. Metro Atlanta is slated to receive more than $5.3 billion, while most projects by count occurred outside the 10-county metro region.
The more interesting signal is that international-company job commitments more than doubled year over year, led by Korea, Italy, Belgium, Canada, and France.
Georgia says its economic-development team supported 436 expansions and new locations in fiscal 2026, tied to about 25,300 future private-sector jobs.
