ICYMI: Southern Living named Gainesville, GA #17 Best Cities On the Rise!
"While Gainesville has long been Georgia’s favorite resort destination, Lake Lanier is just one of its many draws. The lake’s sprawling footprint continues to welcome visitors and new residents alike, who seek fun in the sun and plenty of aquatic recreation along its 38,000 acres. Plus, there’s a boutique-filled downtown district and a spate of new restaurants that have opened up over the last few years."
"According to the U.S. Census, the South is the place to be. Not only is it the most populous region in the country, it accounted for 87% of our country’s growth in 2023. Plus, the South is the only region that maintained population growth during the pandemic. Visit any of the places on this year's Best Cities On the Rise list and you’ll quickly understand why."
