This month our member spotlight focuses on Capitol City Bank & Trust Company, where George Andrews is Founder and CEO. Andrews, also a member of the Central Atlanta Progress Board of Directors, established the bank in 1994. Capitol City Bank & Trust has been ranked among the nation’s top 10 banks most committed to serving the urban community. As the 9th-largest minority-owned bank in the country, Capitol City Bank & Trust Company serves customers throughout the state, with five branch offices in metro Atlanta and three regional locations in Albany, Savannah and Augusta.

In 2010 the bank pulled itself up by its bootstraps and emerged from economic turmoil without government assistance by producing a net profit of more than $300,000. And if that doesn’t impress you, Downtown Atlanta’s Capital City Bank & Trust building houses Ida’s Downtown, perhaps the only place where you can do your banking and sit down to a homemade Southern-style meal in the same location!

Digital Signage at Georgia World Congress Center

Leading up to the highly anticipated 10th annual Downtown Atlanta Restaurant Week, Central Atlanta Progress will be running a promotional campaign on the recently installed digital billboard located at the Georgia World Congress Center. The GWCC is continually exploring new technologies to promote itself as a world-renowned convention center. This latest partnership with Revelation Outdoor Management makes it one of the first centers in the nation to actively pursue and install a large-scale digital program, and gives the GWCC a unique advantage in new revenue generating opportunities. Please take a closer look at the new marketing programs now in place to see if there is a fit for your company. Please contact the GWCC’s marketing office for additional information.

Woodruff Park Branding Initiative

Our ongoing Woodruff Park revitalization efforts have led to some positive changes of late, from new vendors joining the park to the long-dormant round fountain’s restoration a few weeks ago. The next step in this long-term project is a push to include the property owners surrounding the park. We are asking and encouraging stakeholders around Woodruff Park to strongly consider revamping signage, letterhead, promotional materials and more to include the park’s name. This is a concerted effort to make Woodruff Park a premiere destination and increase local ownership among property owners.

John Portman Documentary

Central Atlanta Progress is proud to support a soon-to-be-released documentary of one of Downtown Atlanta’s premiere architects, John Portman. “John Portman, A Life of Building,” will debut at the High Museum of Art on June 16th.
