Welcome to DeKalb
Welcome to DeKalb County, the crown jewel of the metropolitan Atlanta region.

With over 700,000 residents, DeKalb is Georgia's third largest county, with a population greater than the entire states of Vermont, Wyoming, Alaska and North Dakota. Home to Emory University, the Center for Disease Control, and Philips Consumer Electronics, to name a few, DeKalb boasts a growing labor base - professional, skilled and hourly - and a menu of customized training programs in the latest technologies. Our culturally diverse population includes over 64 spoken languages and a melting pot of well-educated communities - Asian, Hispanic, European, and African, to name a few. Whatever your business, DeKalb has the labor that you will need to acquire a competitive edge in today's global market.

And as your product travels to market, DeKalb's transportation nexus will save you time and money. Four multi-directional interstates traverse DeKalb, allowing one-day truck travel to more than 60% of the US consumer market. The Port of Savannah and global maritime access is less than 5 hours drive, and Hartsfield International Airport, the world's busiest air center, an immediate neighbor. Travel, global or domestic, is easily achieved from DeKalb.
