 Mayor Johnson Again Named One of Georgia Trend’s 100 Most Influential Georgians

SAVANNAH (Jan. 12, 2024) – For the fourth consecutive year, Savannah, Ga. Mayor Van R. Johnson, II, has been named among Georgia Trend's 100 most influential Georgians in the 26th iteration of the publication's annual list of influential people around the Peach State.

In their profile of Mayor Johnson, Georgia Trend highlighted the following: "Johnson leads a city buoyed and challenged by record-setting growth at the ports and in tourism. The mayor says managing that growth - and the balance between residents and visitors - is a priority so Savannah will remain a nice place to visit but an even greater place to live." 

"I am thrilled to once again be named among this prestigious list of influential Georgians," Mayor Johnson said. "This recognition means that Savannah remains a major driver in the state of Georgia, and we will continue to focus on making big things happen, including major investments in housing and workforce development, in The Hostess City of the South.”

This year's list includes CEOs, politicians, nonprofit and economic development leaders, among others, who have inspired and spearheaded efforts to meet and beat challenges in virtually every corner of the Peach State. Some are very public figures, while others work quietly behind the scenes. All are tireless and passionate in pursuit of their vision for a better Georgia.
