Our city, and community, is at an exciting time in its history.
The economy is bouncing back. New businesses are opening, existing businesses are expanding their outreach, jobs are being created, and new construction is taking place every day.
Here in Canton, we are blessed with great schools (colleges included) and a desirable quality of life. Canton is alive with retail and industrial activity, affordable land, and a host of living accommodations. In turn, this draws people from various professions and interests to our community.
Canton has a diverse economy. Our diverse business base ranges from large manufacturing to locally owned and operated retail, numerous professional services, and phenomenal restaurants.
The possibilities are endless.
Interstate 575, Highway 140, Highway 20, State Business Highway 5, State Route 20, the Hickory Log Creek Reservoir and Dam, and the Georgia Northeastern Railroad all serve as key components of Canton's infrastructure. The nearby Cherokee County Regional Airport serves many airway transportation needs.
Atlanta is a short trip, at an estimated 38 miles from Main Street to Peachtree Street. We have streetscape projects, master-planned communities, a new replacement hospital, and an 81-acre recreational park all under way.
Add in our exciting cultural scene, downtown growth and revitalization, and naturally scenic beauty, and you can see why Canton is becoming a highly sought-after place to work, raise a family, and enjoy recreational activities.
With all of these wonderful things taking place, it is no wonder that Canton was ranked the No. 1 "Best Place to Live in Georgia" by Movoto Real Estate Magazine earlier this year!
Even better, I believe Canton's best days are still ahead. Together, we will keep Canton growing!
