ARC Chair Visits Governmental Affairs Committees
March 19, 2020
In a joint meeting of the ARA and ACBR's Governmental Affairs Committees, Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) Chairman Kerry Armstrong served as guest speaker where he gave members an outlook on the future growth of the Atlanta region.
Chairman Armstrong, a REALTOR® and active ACBR member, shared with our members exactly what the ARC does, how their work can help REALTORS® advance their business and gave us a briefing on the ARC's 2040 Forecast. Ironically, Mr. Armstrong gave an update on what leaders would be doing in response to the Coronavirus pandemic and sure enough, we are doing just what he predicted.
