Coles also wants to make sure that when something is going to be done in the states, that Georgia gets it. We are not going to get every project, but we are going to get a lot more than we have been getting. If we don't get something, I am going to want to know why, not necessarily to hold somebody to task for not getting it, but to figure out how we don't lose the next one. Coles also thinks that the ever-growing technology business in Georgia is an important one to this industry. One of the great assets that Georgia has, in addition to the fact that architecturally, geographically, and demographically we have so much to offer this industry to come here, in addition to that, we have a whole technology world in Georgia that is second to maybe only silicon valley.
Coles sees a true partnership between business and government in the future.
Incentives will be part of what we will have to do to be competitive, but I really think that to bring people here, it is going to take more than just incentives. Georgia is a great place to work, it's going to be a very cooperative state, and it is also going to be that we can offer this technology arm that will work as a partnership with this industry. I think because of that, we are going to be able to get things done in a way that hasn't happened in years in this state. Coles is also looking forward to using his business acumen to work with business leaders in the state. I am going to be traveling around the state meeting with leaders in the major communities, talking to hotel operators and restaurateurs.
