Surrounded by supporters wearing "Go Build" hardhats, Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal (R) on Jan. 17 announced the creation of Go Build Georgia, a promotional initiative aimed at raising the awareness of the value of careers in the skilled trades.
The governor even enlisted the assistance of Mike Rowe, star of the Discovery Channel's Dirty Jobs, to promote the program. Rowe, who is involved with the original Go Build organization in Alabama, offered his support of the Georgia program in the governor’s announcement, and will be featured in related advertising.
