Business in Banks County
The area’s economic development is well-served with Interstate 85 crossing the southeast section of Banks County, providing links to Atlanta, Greenville/Spartanburg and Charlotte while U.S. 441 intersects I-85 and provides a major north-south corridor through the center of the county.
The evolution of Banks Crossing into the fastest-growing shopping destination in Georgia has led to a dynamic increase in retail and service industries. With over 1 million square feet of retail space, shopping at the mega-crossroads where U.S. 441 and I-85 meet is an exciting adventure.
Accompanying the extensive development of the area, the restaurant and hotel/motel trades have expanded to accomodate the influx of shoppers and tourists. With the addition of a new Home Depot, Banks County proudly welcomes another well-known corporate citizen to the community.
In response to tremendous growth within specific areas of the county, a comprehensive plan has been developed to establish acceptable zoning and project regulations to protect the county’s natural integrity. Integrating agribusiness, residential, commercial, and industrial zoning categories is creating a managed growth enviroment to maintain the balance between economic progress and the established and treasured way of life that Banks County residents enjoy.
