The economic well-being of Northwest Georgia is driven by its existing business and industry. Research indicates that as many as 70% of the new jobs created each year in our region are the result of local business expansions.

The Northwest Georgia Joint Development Authority provides ongoing support

to our business and industry partners in Catoosa, Chattooga, Dade, and Walker counties...identifying their needs, assisting with site locations, facilitating regulatory and permitting issues and minimizing obstacles to responsible growth and expansion. In addition, the NWGAJDA has developed a system to bring Northwest Georgia businesses together with the local suppliers of their goods and services, saving our business partners money while developing new business opportunities in the region. Over the next four years, Northwest Georgia Joint Development Authority is committed to helping our existing businesses remain strong and flourish and keeping them in Northwest Georgia.
