A lot goes into wooing large manufacturing firms to move to Georgia. There are tax incentives, sure, but there’s also a holistic approach where state, county, and city officials all work together to ensure long-term success.

That holistic approach is at the heart of why Georgia is the No. 1 state in which to do business. Take Yachiyo Manufacturing, for example. After moving to Carrollton in 2013, Yahciyo worked directly with the Carrollton Department of Labor office to help staff its plant.

The Carrollton DOL office helped screen applicants and even set up a massive job fair with more than 1,000 attendees. As you’ll see in the video, Yachiyo leaned on the expertise of the DOL staff to great effect.

You don’t need to be a massive manufacturing firm for the Carrollton DOL to reach out, either. Check out how it helped a small Whitesburg, Georgia business in this video.
