Jamie Dempsey/Greater Eastside Chamber of Commerce

The Greater Eastside Chamber of Commerce (GECC) has a slogan of “Where Business and Community Meet”… and that is something they take very seriously. When the business community of an area is healthy, it spreads health into the community at large, creating jobs, raising housing prices, strengthening the local economy and creating a better place for people to live, work and play. GECC is very involved in continuing business education and philanthropy throughout the cities of Loganville, Snellville and Grayson, and has been a binding force for the three cities since 2004.

Karen Backus/Avion Energy

Avion Energy seeks commercial consumers to offer them savings from 46 energy providers that are licensed either in electric or natural gas as determined by how their state is deregulated. General savings range from 5 – 30% and in some cases over 50% simply because people do not read their contracts. They offer this service at no cost or obligation and they retain a 98% renewal rate once they land prospects as clients. They are paid by the provider once the contracts are in place.
