This episode is brought to you by the Savannah Economic Development Authority
Savannah wants to believe it sells itself — and it does for the most part — but to close the deal, it needs people like the Savannah Economic Development Authority's Trip Tollison. Growing up nearby in Brunswick, Tollison had a stint in Washington working at the U.S. Capitol before coming home and using his lessons about developing relationships to help SEDA, and Savannah, reach new levels. On this episode of Difference Makers, Tollison discusses what he learned at the Capitol, what all he and SEDA does when courting new business, the future of the tech and logistics corridors in Savannah and what the future looks like for the city.
