Albany-Dougherty County. Thrive Here.

Albany-Dougherty County’s natural beauty is breathtaking and its Southern hospitality indeed is charming. But behind its pretty and historic façade lies a bustling, growing business community teeming with success and opportunities.

Albany-Dougherty County, which has the lowest cost-of-living and doing business of Georgia’s metropolitan areas, is a pro-business community dedicated to existing industry and business recruitment. As the industrial hub of Southwest Georgia, Albany-Dougherty County is home to an expanding industrial base that includes an impressive roster of Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies in markets including health care and manufacturing; other growing markets include corporate, professional and customer-care services and logistics. To that end, the community is home to Marine Corps Logistics Base-Albany and the headquarters of Marine Corps Logistics Command. Our community, which supports five institutions of higher learning, has the skilled work force to meet industries’ needs.

As the cultural anchor of the region, Albany-Dougherty County supports a broad and thriving arts and nature scene that includes the only symphony in south Georgia, a theater, an arts museum and a Civil Rights institute as well as a freshwater aquarium and one of three Association of Zoos and Aquariums-accredited zoos in Georgia.

Give us a ring or drop by and find out first-hand what all the fuss is about.
