Who We Are
King City Advisors is a strategic advisory firm rooted in decades of experience in local government, economic development, and real estate investment. Founded with a mission to uplift underserved communities and accelerate smart, sustainable development, King City Advisors stands at the intersection of public policy, private investment, and community advancement.
We specialize in transforming bold ideas into actionable strategies that drive measurable results—whether through feasibility studies, capital planning, incentive structuring, or the creation of economic development authorities. With a deep understanding of municipal operations and private-sector investment trends, our team bridges the gap between vision and implementation.
Our Story
King City Advisors was born out of a commitment to help communities and investors navigate the complexities of development with integrity, insight, and impact. With more than 30 years of leadership in economic development across the State of Georgia, our founder, Artie Jones III, launched the firm to expand his reach and inject practical solutions into the public and private sectors alike.
Since our founding, we have advised municipalities, development authorities, private investors, and community organizations throughout Georgia and beyond—delivering customized guidance, project leadership, and strategic tools that accelerate growth while preserving local character.
