1. NORTHEAST GEORGIA: A GREAT PLACE TO CALL HOME

    Situated in the foothills of the rolling southern Appalachian Mountains, Hall County offers a little slice of heaven with its 38,000 acre Lake Lanier – site of the 1996 Olympic rowing venue. The area’s scenic beauty is matched only by the robust economy that traditionally boasts a low unemployment rate. Gainesville, at the heart of Hall, is a vibrant regional business center with a sturdy foundation in medical care, financial services and agriculture.

    For sports enthusiasts, there are numerous golf courses, recreational opportunities and a wide range of events including basketball, soccer, rodeo and paddling.

    After hours, there’s an abundance of cultural, arts and entertainment venues, such as the Gainesville Symphony, the Northeast Georgia History Center, the Quinlan Visual Arts Center and many restaurants and shops located in a revitalized, picturesque downtown. Also, Gainesville is less than an hour north of bustling Atlanta, home to the Atlanta Braves, the new Georgia Aquarium, the High Museum of Art, Fernbank Science Center and countless other top venues that provide for exciting day trips.

    A great work environment and outstanding quality of life in one place – it just doesn’t get any better than Gainesville and Hall County.
