About Northwest Georgia
Northwest Georgia’s 15 counties offer a blend of industry, access, and natural beauty that supports both business growth and quality of life. A skilled workforce powers manufacturing, automotive, and tourism, with global leaders like Shaw Industries, Qcells, Pirelli, and Toyo Tire anchoring the region’s economy.
Beyond industry, northwest Georgia is a favorite for weekend getaways. Blue Ridge serves as a gateway to hiking trails, cascading waterfalls, and trout streams, while Gilmer County – known as Georgia’s apple capital – draws visitors to orchards and cideries each fall. Cartersville is home to two Smithsonian-affiliated museums: the Booth Western Art Museum and Tellus Science Museum.
“The experience of where we want to live, the place we want to raise our family – a small town like Blue Ridge, Georgia, is ideal.”
