Braselton Named Top Growth Area in Country

Braselton GA was named the top growth area in a recent survey involving the census reports and suburban areas. As part of the 9 of 2009, the demographic research and location-based services' firm based its annual listing upon Braselton's dramatic change in population and the presence of emerging census blocks such as neighborhoods with less than ten households in 2000 and more than 100 households in 2009. The census blocks include all of Braselton and stretched into southern Hall, northwestern Barrow and western Jackson Counties.

"Jackson County Area Chamber of Commerce president Shane Short added, "Braselton serves as a gateway into Jackson County stretching along the growing I-85 corridor from Atlanta. This growth placed Jackson County as one of the top 25 fastest growing counties in the nation according to the Census Bureau. The Town plays a major role in our community because of its excellent employment opportunities, industrial growth, and high quality residential and retail developments."
