Douglas County Georgia

Suburban life comes at a premium in this little nook, just 20 minutes away from Downtown Atlanta. With the lowest property taxes in the Atlanta metro area and an energetic business environment to boot, Douglas is an ideal place to work and to live. The biggest employers in the area include Silver Line Building Products Inc., American Red Cross Blood Services, APL Logistics and Staples Customer Fulfillment Center. Openings of new office parks and spaces within the area, as well as the emergence of businesses like Turano Baking Co. bring extra life to the area’s work force.

The city prides itself on its devotion to recycling and maintaining an eco-conscious image,which shines through in local parks and nature centers. Sweetwater Creek State Conservation Park, for instance, is the third most visited park in the state of Georgia, while the Clinton Nature Preserve with an authentic pre-Civil War log cabin, protects 200-acres of natural vegetation and wildlife. When locals aren’t rummaging through nature trails or swimming in Boundary Waters Aquatic Center within the recently constructed 500-acre Boundary Waters Recreational Complex, they’re busy dining, shopping or attending a performance at one of several local venues. Jocada Museum is the ideal spot for jazz devotees, while O’Neal Plaza offers a host of artistic and literary opportunities.
