Throughout Georgia, and likely the nation and the world, communities founded in agriculture and trades tied to the railroads at the turn of the century have forged for themselves an infrastructure of utilities and an evolution of industry to keep their cities, counties, and regions thriving.

What makes Laurens County unique is historical leadership that has made advancements decades before mandates and on par with some of the largest metropolitans in the U.S. – including, for example, a local airport able to serve commercial traffic, a state-of-the-art fiber optics network installed before the millennium and, most recently, funding for a downtown WiFi cloud.

From history, a community perspective on economic development stands alongside a strong economy and low business costs.

With community involvement comes political leadership as well. And, with community and political commitment has come industry, such as some of Dublin-Laurens County largest employers.
