More Jobs on the Way
By | July 29, 2010
A proposed $72 million business park in Columbus, Ga., is projected to bring more than 1,000 civilian jobs close to the Greater Valley Area within five years. The park will be home to a variety of defense related businesses and contractors supporting the new Maneuver Center of Excellence. This investment is further proof that the extended area around Ft. Benning and Kia in Georgia will continue to expand and see increased demand on development.
The 1.4 million square foot office park is the result of growth at the 184,000 acre military base undergoing a $3.5 billion expansion. The expansion is part of the U.S. Army’s Base Realignment and Closure Initiative.
The military expansion, which includes moving the Armor School from Fort Knox in Kentucky to Fort Benning, could create up to 11,000 jobs among active-duty soldiers, Department of Defense civilians and contractors.
Many of those that are moving or being transferred will be looking for homes for sale in West Point Georgia or the Greater Valley Area. If this sounds like you, you might want to consider the master planned neighborhood of Quail Run or the golf course community of Riverside Estates. Both communities are located in popular Chambers County, Alabama, just miles from downtown West Point.
In addition to new home communities, there are several options if you are looking for apartments near Kia or within driving distance to Fort Benning. The Vistas at the Venue, The Verandas at the Venue and Crest Club at the Venue are all conveniently located near 1-85 in Valley, Alabama.
With an unrivaled tax structure in place and quality schools in Chambers County, many are calling Quail Run and Riverside Estates home. For more information about these homes or apartments visit the Greater Valley Group website or call 706-645-7777.
