All People have Economic Opportunity

Fulton County plays an important role in creating the right environment to stimulate economic growth and develop an able workforce. The County serves as a key connector between the business community, education providers, job seekers, and the municipal governments who serve them. It is the County’s responsibility to ensure that public resources are aligned in the effort to support business growth and develop the skills and training of the workforce.

Performance Dashboards and Initiatives

Strategic Performance Dashboard
Strategic performance measures track activities which often extend beyond the power of one department or even the county government to affect on its own, but we believe improvements can be made in these areas through cooperation between departments and through partnerships with other government agencies, non-profits and the private sector.  View dashboard
Department Performance Dashboard
Department performance measures are specific to county departments and are designed to track performance for the programs and services provided by each department. Departments set annual performance goals and report quarterly on their progress toward those goals. View dashboard
