From the Chair

Spend it here, Keep it here Growing up in this community, I watched as my parents purchased supplies for the farm, items for the house, clothes for us – always from a local business. I remember walking into shops and owners calling my parents by name. Today, it seems for a lot of communities, buying online has taken the place of walking into the local store. Fortunately, as the retail hub of Northeast Georgia, we have direct access to most goods and services right here at home. On February 11, we will host the Annual Buy Local Expo. Over 85% of the Chamber's membership are small businesses, and this event is one of our signature programs to support our small businesses and the buy local campaign. Buying locally sustains the unique character and quality of life of our community. Beyond the economic impact of our spending, buying locally supports the businesses that reinvest in our commuDixie Truelove Truelove Dairy, Inc. nity's social and environmental well-being. Gainesville-Hall County Chair, Greater Hall Chamber businesses give generously to area churches, schools and non-profits and enhance the social welfare of friends and neighbors. Dollars spent here are reinvested in our community's employees through wages and reinvested in other organizations through the purchase of legal, accounting and other business services. The most significant reason to shop locally is to continue to strengthen the economic base of the community. Sales taxes in Gainesville-Hall County help to fund such basics as police and fire protection, EMS, and street repairs. Here are a few more reasons: 10 Reasons Why to Buy Locally 1. Creates jobs. 2. Funds wages and benefits paid to local residents. 3. Supports profits earned by local owners. 4. Keeps dollars in the community and stimulates the local economy. 5. Recycles dollars back into the community. 5. Protects our local character and unique quality of life. 6. Sustains community well-being and contributions to local charities and non profit organizations. 7. Fuels entrepreneurship - America's economic engine. 8. Encourages competition in the marketplace - better deals! 9. Makes for better customer care and a higher standard of service. 10. Saves you money in fuel and travel time.

February 4, 2014 • Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce

In addition to the Buy Local Expo, the Safe & Green Forum will take place on February 11. Industry representatives will be on hand to promote environmentally friendly services and safety program initiatives for the workplace. Join us at the Gainesville Civic Center, 2pm-7pm, with Business After Hours from 5pm-7pm. Remember, when we spend it here, we keep it here.

Economic Development

Gainesville-Hall County 2013 Economic Development in Review

2014 PROJECTIONS

Gainesville-Hall County is home to 47 Fortune 500 firms, more than 300 manufacturing and processing concerns, and 41 international companies representing 16 foreign countries. The Gainesville-Hall County Economic Development Council (EDC) and the Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce report a successful 2013 with positive trends for 2014, including increased capital expansion, continued job creation, major construction projects in the community and a positive job creation forecast for the next two years. In 2013, economic development efforts of the EDC and the Greater Hall Chamber assisted 33 existing and new companies with 36 projects to create 950 new jobs and invest $180 million. Several companies had more than one project expansion during the period. Manufacturing and processing firms that contributed new growth in 2013 represented a diverse mix of businesses including life sciences, automotive, medical devices, international firms, food processing and other broad industry segments. The community’s growing life sciences and medical device businesses included expansions by Merial (France), Albert International (Germany) and the growth of a new sector for the South Hall County manufacturer Elringklinger Engineered Plastics (Germany). The life sciences sector added two new production labs with Atlanta Biologicals (Germany) and Aeon Clinical Laboratories, and the new Georgia Poultry Laboratory is set to open in 2014 in the newly developed Gateway Industrial Centre business park. Hall County’s growth in the life sciences industry benefits from a strong association with the poultry and food processing industries, as these industries share many support services, cold-chain logistics and demand similar specialized technical skills in quality control for food processing and life sciences. Food processors Cargill and King’s Hawaiian continued to grow, with King’s Hawaiian announcing multiple line expansions in the manufacturer’s Oakwood Bakery that will be installed between 2014 and 2017 and contribute 481 new jobs in the years to come. Regretfully, Schreiber Foods will cease operations in Gainesville in 2014. The dairy, headquartered in Green Bay, Wisconsin, will consolidate for lower cost operations. At full production, the company employed 250 at the Gainesville plant. Over half the growing firms the Chamber assisted have a combined location for their business headquarters and operations, and more than 80% of those with their headquarters in Hall County are U.S. subsidiaries of international firms. These included expansions by Bitzer (Germany), American Yazaki (Japan) as well as an additional location by ZF (Germany) and a

new location for ALBAForm of the Czech Republic – Georgia’s first manufacturing and headquarters from the Czech Republic. “The Gainesville-Hall County Economic Development Council’s investment in our Existing Industry Program is the cornerstone effort to growing the entire business community and the economy,” said Tim Evans, Vice President of Economic Development for the Greater Hall Chamber. “Hall County is home to nearly 300 manufacturing, processing operations representing over 27% of the County’s employment. These industries are the largest single segment of primary economic drivers in Hall County. Many of these existing industries support other non-production jobs in their headquarters, administration and in professional services such as finance, construction, real estate, logistics and healthcare.” In addition to manufacturing and processing expansions, the Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce reports growth in Healthcare – another primary employer for Hall County and the region. According to the Georgia Department of Labor, Healthcare is the largest share of the service sector employing 14% of Hall County’s employment base. Construction continues at the new South Hall Campus of Northeast Georgia Health System in Braselton adding to short term construction employment. With the opening planned for 2015, the campus will contribute to long-term employment growth for the region and improve access to the best quality healthcare system in Georgia. “The outlook for 2014 and beyond is headed in a good direction for the Gainesville-Hall County Metropolitan Area, said Kit Dunlap, President and CEO of the Greater Hall Chamber. “Many of the expansions announced in 2013 will be hiring in 2014 and 2015, and for consecutive years, unemployment in Hall County continues its steady decline.”

• The economic development pipeline for additional project activity from new and expanding firms is at an encouraging level with 67 active projects and several additional project expansions pending in the first months of 2014. • Hall County’s regional role as a center for top ranked Healthcare services will be enhanced with the addition of the new Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Braselton in 2015. • The growing and vibrant retail sectors in Hall County – Flowery Branch, Oakwood and Gainesville’s Downtown, Dawsonville Highway and New Holland Market areas – will compliment our role as a center for employment in automotive, professional and healthcare services. • The 365 Corridor from Jesse Jewell Parkway North is a center for future commercial growth beginning from the New Holland Market, to the Gateway Industrial Centre and the newly acquired 145 acres at Howard Road and 365 acquired by TPA Realty, a world-class developer. • New private residential development activity is responding to a decreasing supply of good quality available housing stock to meet current demand and a growing population. • Future economic development growth will be supported by long-term public and private infrastructure investments to expand gas service, water, sewer, electrical distribution and telecommunications in Gainesville-Hall County. The Greater Hall Chamber continues to partner with the Georgia Department of Labor and recommends interested job-seekers contact the Gainesville Career Center for employment opportunities. (dol.state.ga.us) Skills development opportunities are available at Lanier Technical College (laniertech.edu) for in-demand jobs that require skills in welding, industrial maintenance/ Mechatronix and CNC Machining. “There is a growing skills gap and high demand for some key positions in manufacturing and healthcare that require training and certification that can be obtained here in Hall County at Lanier Technical College, Brenau University and the University of North Georgia,” said Evans. The Gainesville-Hall County Economic Development Council is a public-private partnership of the Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce, Hall County and the Cities of Gainesville, Flowery Branch and Oakwood. The Economic Development Council provides one-stop marketing and economic development services to support the community’s efforts in existing industry retention, new business recruitment, small business development and retail development. greaterhallchamber.com
