My Family and I are wanting to move to the Georgia area but we are not sure where yet. We are from a small town(32,000) now and we are looking for a small town there. In sept we looked a couple of towns, Hezpibah and Statesboro. We did not like this towns 1 was to big and the other is to small. My wife and I will be coming back there in the spring. I need some help on where to start. Does anyone know of some good towns that we can look at?
Thanks Robert

we have trane company (air conditioner), tumi (luggage and vest for us military) and many others. the hospital is soon to be building a new hospital soon. it now offers lots of employment at the hospital and the wellness center. they have a large offsite billing center. let me know if you would like to come and we will try to do lunch and show you around.

Thanks we will be in the south west of Georgia in Aug. How about the job market? I am a supervisor in a steel factory now. Thanks for your help.

Check out Newnan, GA in Coweta County (approximately 38 miles south/southwest of Atlanta). It's population is 27,097 as of 2006, has been built up in many places and yet still has some rural/old-town parts. It's old town center is full of well maintained pre Civil War homes and other buildings (it was one of the few towns not burned to the ground by Sherman in his march to the Atlantic ocean). There is a hospital in the city which will be extended in the near future, in addition to Newnan's proximty to Atlanta offers a lot of medical billing work opportunities. There are a few steel fabrication plants in and near this town (check out Brown Steel and Steel-Fab) in addition to many small to mid sized fire departments offering volunteer, part-time, and full time positions-not to mention large Departments like Atlanta City. I guess the last thing I heard is that some out-of-staters moving to the south sometimes have problems with the summer-time gnats in south Georgia; Newnan is far enough north not to have this problem.

Sorry for all the info, I have been looking into moving to this area since my family moved there 8 years ago from California. Hope it helps, and good luck!

no the info was just fine. as ar as the hot summers goes my wife and i are originally from Florida so i do not think the heat would be that bad. thanks for the help. we are planning to go to Acworth which is north of Atlanta so when we get done there we can slide down to Newnan. Thanks again for all the help.
