Economic Development and Growth in Roswell:

Incorporated in 1854, the City of Roswell has over 80,000 residents who enjoy an unparalleled quality of life. Roswell was named by Atlanta Magazine as the best place to live in the region, beating out 52 other locations in 12 counties.

The City is a great place to do business, with over 5,000 registered businesses ranging from Kimberly-Clark, the largest employer, to numerous small shops and service providers. A growing number of entrepreneurs in the City have chosen to combine both residence and office in one location: home-based businesses constitute 1/3 of all registered businesses.

Located just north of the Chattahoochee River, the City is perhaps most famous for its charming Historic District. With the recently completed renovations of Canton Street, the City's Historic District revitalization is in full swing, featuring a number of popular new restaurants, shops, offices and residential developments. Much has been written in the local and national press about the trend toward the "new urbanism" where pedestrians are encouraged to get out of their cars and multiple types of development are combined in a single area. Roswell's Historic District has been a leader in this arena: authentically restored homes share brick-paved sidewalks with trendy art galleries and small professional offices. Singles, families and empty-nesters alike are discovering the joy of strolling along tree-lined streets that offer something for everyone.

Office development continues to expand throughout the City, with companies like Royal Oaks Enterprises and Paradise Foods joining firms who have chosen Roswell as the ideal location for their headquarters. High-tech firms are attracted to the City's high quality of life which makes it easy to recruit and retain a well-educated workforce. Roswell is part of the award-winning Fulton County School system, and educational opportunities for adults are plentiful.
