Hospitality Capital of the World
Known as the “Hospitality Capital of the World,” Gainesville prides itself on its welcoming atmosphere and tight-knit community. From year-round events, like outdoor markets and concerts, to seasonal festivals that bring the streets alive with music, food, and art, Downtown is a lively destination where Southern charm meets innovative style.
The city and area earned its fame for this title from the influx of visitors during the 1996 Summer Olympics. Lake Lanier became a household name internationally during that event when the City of Gainesville hosted the canoe/kayak and rowing events at Lake Lanier Olympic Park.
Mixed-Market Manufacturing
Where textiles once established a stronghold because of the area’s resources, by the same token, has allowed the Gainesville-Hall County Metropolitan area to be a food processing and automaker industry hub. In partnership with Lanier Technical College, the area has an industrial and manufacturing focused education sector that gives companies a serious and capable workforce. Renowned equipment maker, Kubota, is located in Gainesville and Lula, GA and produces numerous models such as their ATVs and front-end loaders.
A manufacturer of their size creates jobs far beyond their own plant due to suppliers and complementary industries. JDI Industrial works directly with Kubota as well as many of its fellow manufacturing partners in Northeast Georgia.
