With the presence of Robins Air Force Base and nine post secondary institutions within a 50 mile radius of Houston County, we can provide just about any quantity or quality of employee needed, all in a non-union environment. We have a very stable local taxing situation. In fact, we have been operating under an ad valorem tax cap since 1982. Our local governments have a proven track record of being responsive to the business climate needs of our existing industries. We are eager to extend the hand of friendship and cooperation to new industry as well.
Quality of life is very important.
