Explore Georgia, the tourism division within the Georgia Department of Economic Development (GDEcD), announced recently, that the City of Douglasville has been awarded a tourism product development grant, one of four new and expanding projects across the state.

“Safely welcoming more tourists to Georgia will make a significant difference in our economic recovery from COVID-19. We’re grateful for the opportunity to provide our partners with this additional funding,” said Georgia Department of Economic Development Commissioner Pat Wilson.

The “Love Douglasville Where You Live” heart public art project invites local artists to create designs on fiberglass heart sculptures placed around the community. The artists will install painted heart sculptures in high-traffic areas to create photo opportunities for visitors.

The City will begin work on the project later this Spring.
