Economic Development

The Mitchell County Development Authority is the acting arm for Economic Development in Mitchell County. The development authority is here to market Mitchell County all over the world by developing and promoting trade, commerce, industry, and employment opportunities.

Mitchell County is twenty second in size of the 159 counties in the state with 514 square miles of beautiful countryside and growing communities. In 2010, Mitchell County’s population had grown to over 24,000 and is one of the few growing counties in southwest Georgia.

Much of our growth represents our county’s slogan…

Where Agriculture Meets Industry.

Mitchell County has aggressively sought agricultural businesses such as Keystone Foods, Southeast Milk Inc. (SMI), AIMTrac (Case IH Dealership,), and FUEL (First United Ethanol LLC).

While agriculture remains our primary industry, we also have manufacturing companies, distributors, and processing plants. The Mitchell County Development Authority wants you to DISCOVER Mitchell County and see what we have to offer you!
