mountains yet still close enough to the
South’s largest city to enjoy outstanding
global opportunity. White County’s
highway system makes traveling on the
road easy. U.S. Highway 19 runs right
through the county seat of Cleveland, as
do GA Highways 115 and 75. The county
is also home to GA Highways 17, 254,
348 and 356.
The county hosts Mountain Airpark,
a private airpark a few miles outside of
Cleveland, and five additional airports
are within 25 miles. Hartsfield-Jackson
Atlanta International Airport is only two
hours away and connects the area with
more than 150 U.S. destinations and 75
international destinations.
White County businesses have access
to deep sea ports within six hours in
Savannah and Brunswick, Georgia
and Charleston, South Carolina. The
county is less than two hours from the
Appalachian Regional Port, which is a
direct conduit to the Port of Savannah
via rail. Additionally, White County is
little more than half an hour from the
Northeast Georgia Inland Port set to
open in Gainesville in 2021. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
