Atlanta Business Chronicle presents the 29th annual Pacesetter Awards, honoring Atlanta’s 100 fastest-growing privately held companies.

In March 2024, Atlanta Business Chronicle released its annual ranking of Atlanta’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies (Pacesetters), with Milestone Construction making the list.

The qualifications included the company to be privately-held; based in the 20-county metro Atlanta area and not a subsidiary of another company; established first quarter 2021 or earlier (to judge a two-year growth); has experienced a two-year growth in sales of more than 50%; and 2023 revenues between $1 million and $300 million.

Licensed in Georgia, Alabama, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia, Milestone takes pride in being flexible and efficient, with direct owner management that separates it from the competition.

Milestone Construction is proud of this nomination and the recognition of the 100 top fastest growing private companies by the Atlanta Business Chronicle. Visit Atlanta Business Chronicle for more information on the Pacesetter Awards.
