We’re Glad You’re Here
FROM WHEREVER YOU CAME,
I’m glad you’re here. I hope
you’re ready to spend nights out by
the fire with the stars overhead,
feel local tradition in everything
you taste, touch and see, and be

everyone is your neighbor.
I love to see folks from all over
call Blairsville-Union County home,
even if they’re here for only a few
days. The down-home, good-natured
love our community shows visitors
ensures many of them will decide
to make a life here. And make a life
they will because there’s so much
to see and do.
We’ve got all the resources and
opportunities you’ll ever need. Find
your new best friends in one of our

organizations. Start a business in a
County built to support you every

In the past several years, we’ve
experienced an explosion of growth
that’s attracting new businesses,
new residents and countless firsttime
visitors. As a result, just about
every day unearths another hidden
mountain gem for visitors and residents
alike to discover.
Love history? Take a stroll
through old Appalachia at the
Reece Heritage Farm. Vogel State
Park, the second oldest state park in
Georgia, lies only a short drive from
downtown Blairsville. You can also
taste our history in local fare, from
farm-to-table meats and veggies to
fresh biscuits slathered in sorghum.
Ready to try something new? Head
to the highest point in Georgia at
Brasstown Bald, tackle the countryside
on horseback, or dive deep into
experiences you can’t find anywhere
else, like watching a Scottish
parade or touring a local alpaca farm.

move to a place where your family
and your business can thrive, we’re
