The Peachtree Brokerage Group website

(www.peachtree-citygeorgia.com) was given an Award of Excellence on the

basis of overall appearance and usability. The web site was designed

as both an information and sales tool. Easy-to-read sub-pages

break down the site into accessible topics. The site has been highly

successful, averaging approximately 5,000 hits each month.

The Fayette County Development Authority and the

Development Authority of Peachtree City teamed up with the Peachtree

Brokerage Group to win the Award of Excellence for their 1997

Christmas luncheon.

The theme of the luncheon, "Ye Merry Olde Holiday

Celebration," was developed for the event. It was carried through on the

invitations, the name tags, the menus and programs, the

entertainment and the gifts. Invitees were thanked for their "valiant

efforts" in bringing such companies as Siemens, Quantegy, Sigvaris

and Lawson Mardon to Peachtree City in the past year. Nearly 100

economic development officials from Georgia were in attendance,

including those from Georgia Power, Georgia Department

of Industry, Trade and Tourism, Oglethorpe Power, and the

Georgia Department of Labor.

"We are extremely pleased to have been recognized on a

national level for our marketing efforts," says Tate Godfrey,

Peachtree Brokerage Group's director of industrial sales. "Peachtree

City is the best master-planned community in the United States,

and we believe our marketing initiatives reflect this."

Both the web site and the Christmas luncheon were developed
