Making Site Selection Simple
The Industrial Building Authority of Franklin County is a constitutional agency empowered to “encourage and promote the expansion and development of industrial and commercial facilities in Franklin County.”
Mission
The mission of the Franklin County Industrial Building Authority is to create, maintain, and focus a program of responsible economic development through which public and private leadership can address the economic growth of Franklin County and its incorporated cities.
Our goal is to see the industrial development and health of Franklin County grow, bringing in more business for more growth.
The Authority Board of Directors is committed to participating in economic development activities that benefit our region of Northeast Georgia.
Site Selection
The Franklin County IBA wants to make the site selection process easy. That’s why we offer maps, demographics and workforce data specific to each site, as needed. Call us at 706.384.5112 for assistance.
Who We Are
