THE LITTLE ENGINE OF NORTHEAST GEORGIA
Just like the little engine that could, sometimes you just have to keep working. That's exactly what and are doing, and they are seeing some outstanding results!
In 2008 the county lost one major industry after another with the closure of Honeywell and SR Plastics. Several companies laid off employees, including Pilgrims' Pride (due to a major fire), Carlisle Coating and Waterproofing. Many of the area granite companies, an industrial mainstay in Elbert County, were suffering.
