The Atlanta Local Legacy Program is designed to celebrate businesses that have been
operating in the city for 30 years or more. By recognizing their contributions to the city’s
history and growth, this program honors the resilience and impact of local businesses
that have shaped Atlanta’s identity.
Eligible businesses are invited to apply for grants and participate in the Legacy
Celebration Event on April 1, 2025, at Pittsburgh Yards. The event will offer businesses
the chance to showcase their work, connect with other longstanding Atlanta businesses,
and highlight their contributions to the community.
The program also features a new tool to help locals and tourists easily find and support
legacy businesses across the city, ensuring that these important community anchors
receive continued recognition and support.
Mayor Andre Dickens and the Atlanta City Council are committed to preserving the
legacies of these businesses, helping them thrive for years to come while contributing to
the continued vibrancy of the city.
