About the Selig Center

Created to convey economic expertise to Georgia businesses and entrepreneurs, the Selig Center for Economic Growth is primarily responsible for conducting research on economic, demographic, and social issues related to Georgia’s current and future growth. Dedicated in December 1990, the Selig Center improves upon its predecessor, the Division of Research, which was established in the late 1940s.

Through its range of projects — major economic impact studies, economic forecasts, publications, information services, and data products — the center’s efforts help to guide business decisions and public policy directions. In doing so, the Selig Center has become the Terry College of Business’s most visible public service unit. Perhaps the most successful outreach effort is the Georgia Economic Outlook series, held each December in Atlanta bringing together national economic experts and the Selig Center’s know-how. Eight additional programs are held in other cities throughout Georgia and focus on those specific local economies.

The center’s daily operations are handled by five full-time staff professionals. Located in the Bank of America building in downtown Athens, the Selig Center is open from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday through Friday.
