What it’s like
The place. Industrial is a small town in Gordon County, in northwest Georgia. Across Gordon County, most homes are lived in by their owners, and many residents have spent much of their lives close by. Winters are cold and summers are hot, with the coldest weather in the heart of the winter and the warmest in late summer.
Work. Residents work in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in the building trades. Jobs across the county grew slightly over the last year, and unemployment is low and has eased a little. Many adults in the county hold no college degree.
Things to do. The Conasauga River runs in or beside town, a good place for a walk or a quiet afternoon by the water. New Echota, a protected area, is a short drive away, and the Etowah Indian Mounds, an archaeological site, lie a longer drive off.
