Snellville GA

10 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 4, ISSUE 8 The City hosts a “Shark Tank”-style event every year for budding businesses coming out of the high schools. It’s modeled on the television show of the same name, in which hopeful inventors, entrepreneurs, and the like pitch their ideas to big-business millionaires. “We try to provide a great environment to enhance our small businesses,” Bender says. “The University of Georgia’s Small Business Development Program offers a lot of help and support. That accessibility is here in the city as well.” Sanders projects that the community’s future couldn’t be brighter. “There’s a lot of businesses that want to come here and a lot of people who want to move here,” he said. “We’re seeing a lot of interest in Snellville!” PREFERRED VENDOR/PARTNER n Piedmont Eastside Medical Center Piedmont.org/Eastside Piedmont Eastside is a 310-bed, multi-campus system of medical care offering comprehensive medical and surgical programs including cardiovascular, neurosciences, oncology, orthopedics, robotic surgery, rehabilitation, maternity with neonatal intensive care, behavioral health, bariatric, and 24-hour emergency care.  Located in Snellville, Piedmont Eastside has been providing quality health care to the community for over 40 years. n Northside Hospital jobs.northside.com n MidCity Real Estate Partners midcitypartners.com
