Meet Antonio
McBroom, Chatham EDC Board Member.

Born and raised in Goldston, Antonio has always had a strong connection to Chatham County. For him, one of the best things about calling Chatham home is its people and the passion, care, and commitment they bring to the community.

As Founder, Visionary Developer, and CEO of PRIMO Partners, Antonio brings his experience and perspective to the Chatham EDC Board. Looking ahead, he’s excited about the level of leadership across Chatham County and the top-tier talent helping move the community
forward, from education and law enforcement to local government, economic development, and entrepreneurship.

For Antonio, serving on the Board is another way to stay connected to the community he calls home and help create opportunities for current and future Chatham Countians.
