RETAIL DEVELOPMENT
The West Point/Greater Valley region is experiencing unprecedented economic development, driven primarily by growth at the region’s largest employer, KIA Motors Manufacturing Georgia. As the region has grown, a shortage of retail has developed and a significant number of shoppers are forced to shop outside the region. The City of West Point is actively recruiting new to the market retail to address this shortage. We want shoppers to have the opportunity to “shop local” for all their retail needs and are confident our economy has the strength to make this additional retail successful.
Our retail efforts will serve to:
- Diversify the commercial tax base and the economy
- Enhance the quality of life for residents in the region
- Attract important sales tax dollars to support SPLOST initiatives for education & infrastructure
