This is Gwinnett County

With experts predicting Gwinnett to become Georgia’s largest county in less than five years and its enviable proximity to the state’s leading colleges and universities, this economic powerhouse has emerged as metro Atlanta’s leading hub for technology, bioscience, and innovative companies of the future.

Home to FORTUNE 1000 companies and leading metro Atlanta’s job creation for the past five years, Gwinnett and the Atlanta region have been named America’s “Hottest Cities for Business Relocation and Expansion” by Expansion Management Magazine, KPMG’s “Least Expensive City to do Business” and among Site Selection Magazine’s “Top Ten Metros.”  

One of the fastest-growing counties in the nation, Gwinnett is much more than an affluent suburb of Atlanta. It’s the driving force in a high-powered information-based economy. Just 20 minutes northeast of Atlanta and strategically located between Georgia Tech, Emory University and Georgia State University in Atlanta and the University of Georgia in Athens with Georgia Gwinnett College right in the middle, Gwinnett is home to a wide range of businesses – from industry giants like Scientific Atlanta, A Cisco Company, Merial, Sage Software and AGCO to international corporations like WIKA Instruments and Ricoh Electronics Corporation to homegrown success stories like Optimus Solutions, Cypress Care and Horizon Software International.

But it’s not all business here. The cultural arts and sports scene offer plenty to keep you busy after hours… from ballet to basketball, from museums to movies. It’s no surprise Gwinnett and metro Atlanta has the reputation as one of America’s best places to live, work, and play.
