Expand Your Business

The Joint Development Authority continues to support its local businesses after they have chosen Whitfield County as their new home.  We understand each need is different, and we recognize the importance of providing personalized data and services to our friends and neighbors in the Greater Dalton area.

Expanding businesses can search through available buildings and sites to determine the best location for expanding their operations and can call on us at anytime to provide assistance. Our team is available to work with you, and some of the support services we provide include:

• Customized local and regional demographics.
• Market research to identify new opportunities.
• Locating and showing potential buildings and sites for growing operations.
• Monitoring and alerting business to any legislative issues that may impact Dalton area businesses.
• Assisting companies in acquiring State of Georgia incentives to expand their business.

All existing industries are eligible for the same incentives, training, and assistance programs that are available to new businesses. Please visit the Incentives section for more information or you can contact Elyse Cochran at 706.278.7373 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
