THE SOUTHSIDE HAS SOMETHING TO SAY! 🎤
WE ARE NOT WAITING FOR OPPORTUNITIES WE ARE BUILDING THEM!
The Clayton County Convocation Center is more than a building — it’s a bold statement about where our community is headed. A Special Thanks To City Councilwoman Hue Nguyen & District 8 School Board Member Joy Tellis-Cooper for coming out to visit with me on Day 2 of the opening of the Convocation Center. This is truly a dream of mine that we all made come true. This arena stands as proof of what vision, partnership, and persistence can deliver for residents, students, and local businesses.
Because of the incredible collaboration between Clayton County Board of Commissioners, Clayton County Public Schools, City Of Morrow and strong community sponsors like Delta Air Lines, Chick-fil-A, Georgia United Credit Union, Clayton County Chamber of Commerce, Clayton State University, Georgia Power and many, many more, this project is creating real pathways for economic development and workforce opportunity. From construction jobs to event staffing, hospitality, security, and beyond, the impact reaches far outside the arena walls.
This venue attracts tournaments, graduations, concerts, and large-scale events that bring visitors who shop in our stores, dine in our restaurants, and invest in our future. It gives our young people exposure to careers in sports management, event production, logistics, and entertainment — industries that are growing and full of possibility.
Most importantly, it shows what can happen when partners across the county lock arms with a shared commitment to progress.
The Southside isn’t waiting for opportunity.
We’re building it. 💼✨
