COME FOR A VISIT…COME TO STAY

What is your plan for your second life?  When you daydream about that next phase, are you thinking about a change?  Whether you are north or south, a change in latitude is the plan of action and Thomasville, Georgia may be the perfect destination for you.  You can be as involved as you choose here under the spreading live oaks where we occasionally turn the thermostat to “cool” on Christmas Day, and sometimes the only sounds in quiet neighborhoods of historic homes are the footfalls of joggers and the sounds of baby strollers wheeling along.

COME FOR A VISIT

Thomas County is home to one of “America’s Castles”, Pebble Hill Plantation, one of over 70 plantations in the area and The Big Oak, a massive and majestic oak.  Known as the City of Roses, Thomasville has many festivals, parades and celebrations throughout the year such as Rose Festival and Victorian Christmas and the Thomasville Fly-In at our airport.  However, other communities in Thomas County are welcoming with their own events such as Mule Day, Peacock Festival and the Boston (GA) Mini-Marathon.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

Best of both worlds and the roads to get there is a good description of Thomas County’s location.  Thomasville’s close proximity to Florida’s Gulf Coast will please fisherman and beach goers alike especially with a dog friendly beach on St. George Island.  NCAA college sporting events such as football and baseball are also available in Tallahassee with Florida State University only 35 miles down the road.  Mountain enthusiasts do not despair, with our great highways, it is an easy half day jaunt up to the Blue Ridge foothills.

WORK, PLAY, WORK, PLAY, WORK BECOMES PLAY

Entrepreneurs are welcome and encouraged by the Chamber of Commerce who offers small business mentoring.  Opportunities abound in our small, but progressive town and fiber optic cable for internet access gives Thomasville entry to the dotcom world.  Fortune 500 Company, Flowers Foods, started in 1919 as a family business and still has their headquarters located here.  Your new business idea may catch fire too.  With over 800 Chamber members, a wide range of business acumen provides networking and camaraderie for a new local business owner. More
