About Southwest Georgia

Across Southwest Georgia, public art shapes a vibrant sense of place. In Colquitt, the Agricultural Mural by artist Charlie Johnston – one of the largest hand-painted murals in the U.S. – blends art with the region’s agricultural roots. That connection to place extends to sites like Kolomoki Mounds State Park and Lake Seminole, adding layers of history and outdoor experience.

The region’s economy is supported by industry and entrepreneurship, with Albany building a network for startups through initiatives like The Launch Room. In Bainbridge, new development reflects growing momentum, while companies like Maule Air and Eaglecraft Door in Moultrie underscore strength in aerospace and manufacturing.

“For 35 years, we have called Cairo, Georgia, and Grady County home. Our growth now and throughout our history has been as a result of the hundreds of skilled, hardworking, and dedicated employees that call this area home.”
