Happy Manufacturing Day! 🔧

Manufacturing plays a crucial role in Chatham County's economy - with 301 manufacturers employing more than 20,000 people across our county.

From long-established to some of the world's most advanced, these manufacturers create jobs, drive innovation and investment and strengthen our region's economy.

Today, we celebrate the companies, the products and the people behind them.

🥇13 years. Still No. 1.

Today, Area Development magazine named Georgia the No. 1 state for business for the 13th year in a row.

In a press release, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp said, “Georgia is at the heart of the American comeback story across a wide range of industries, including manufacturing. The workforce talent, facilities and project sites, and partnerships we've cultivated over these last eight years will only further that momentum in the years to come. I want to thank and congratulate the economic development community, the General Assembly, the educators and workforce developers, and most of all the hardworking Georgians themselves who made this possible. This announcement is yet another testament that we're delivering on the shared goal of creating more jobs for Georgians.”
