Develop Fulton

Develop Fulton joins the nation and the world in mourning the loss of President Jimmy Carter, a remarkable leader whose legacy transcends borders and generations. As a global statesman, humanitarian, and champion of equity, access, and opportunity, President Carter exemplified a life dedicated to service and compassion for all people. His unwavering commitment to peace, democracy, and human rights illuminated not only the state of Georgia but also Fulton County, showcasing the values of our region on an international stage. President Carter's leadership was marked by an unshakable belief in the dignity of every person and the power of unity to create lasting change. His tireless efforts to address poverty, promote fair access to housing, and support the underserved continue to inspire our mission and remind us of the profound impact that thoughtful, purpose-driven leadership can have on our communities. Fulton County has benefited immensely from the light he cast on Georgia and from his heart for humanity. While his physical presence will be deeply missed, his legacy will remain a beacon, guiding our work in fostering equity and expanding opportunities for all. We extend our deepest condolences to the Carter family and the countless individuals worldwide whose lives were touched by his extraordinary contributions. #JimmyCarter #Leadership #Legacy
