Tom Reed considers himself a &quot;start-up guy&quot; not a politician, in fact he&apos;s been on the Inc. 500/5000 List 3x for different startups, but moving to Serenbe offered a unique opportunity to lead &quot;start-up city&quot; of Chattahoochee Hills as mayor. Ask yourself, How do you thrive financially while mindfully preserving? How many developers live in the city they&apos;ve built? Imagine creating such an amazing quality of life that you&apos;re willing to stay, and your children and grandchildren live there too. That&apos;s the message Tom has taken forward in developing Chattahoochee Hills, and working with other mayors to revitalize and preserve the beauty of south-Metro Atlanta.
