A CITY INSPIRED. INSPIRED BY PROGRESS.
Located less than an hour from the world's busiest airport in Atlanta conveniently located off Interstate 85 in 185, our city is a regional hub for advance manufacturing with a great job base. Our city is home to a wide variety of manufacturing and service business with abdundant infrastructure of water, sewer, natural gas and electricity to support growth expansion needs.
Our medical facilities are first rate with the hospital consistently ranked one of the best in Georgia we have all the modern conveniences in the 21st century but we have managed to retain our small town charm. That is something we hope to always preserve strolling through our beautiful downtown, complete with parks and fountains. You will find busy streets with great restaurants and locally owned businesses but only a few minutes from downtown you can be fishing for bass in West Point Lake, enjoying a broadway caliber musical at LaGrange College, listening to a concert by our acclaimed Symphony Orchestra, are watching your child's ballgame at one of our first class recreation facilities.
We have great schools. Both public and private. Diverse housing options and numerous churches and civic groups. Whatever your interests and those in your family I bet you'll find a place to plug in here. And perhaps most of all we want you to join us here.
