CITY OF SOUTH FULTON — Mayor Bill Edwards welcomed Consul-General of Japan Takashi (Thomas) Shinozuka to City Hall on August 21 for a discussion about potential economic partnerships in the City of South Fulton.

“There are more than 600 Japanese companies in Georgia,” said Consul-General Shinozuka. “Due to the City of South Fulton’s proximity to major interstates as well as Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and Charlie Brown Airport, the City of South Fulton is a great place for economic development.”

Additionally, Shinozuka discussed the importance of embracing different cultures and how the City’s youth can benefit from learning about Japanese customs and the language. He also shared details about the Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) program, which allows college students opportunities to teach English in Japan’s public schools, at no cost to the students.

“The City of South Fulton has the potential to become an international hub for businesses and commerce,” said Mayor Bill Edwards. “We are enthusiastic about the great opportunities for growth in the City of South Fulton and we look forward to welcoming new businesses and families to the City.”
