Georgia’s annual cycling race is set to return next year, and bring tourism dollars with it. The Atlanta Business Chronicle reports the Tour de Georgia will return next April for its 6th season. Lieutenant Governor Casey Cagle will chair its board. The Tour’s future was in jeopardy after losing major sponsorship. Its leaders say they’re trying to revitalize the race by generating publicity throughout the year as well as forging stronger partnerships with businesses. Over the past five years, nearly 3-million people have come to watch the tour, which has generated $148-million dollars for local communities.
