Greater Valley Area

All the reasons to be here!

Life really is greater in the Greater Valley Area! Our climate is temperate and our lifestyles are terrific!

With a bountiful array of natural resources, prime location along I-85 and close proximity to major metropolitan areas, the Greater Valley Area offers lifestyles that can be tailored to everyone’s individual needs. We are all about options … brand new families to retirees!

We have state-of-the-art healthcare facilities, libraries with innovative programs for all ages and city recreation programs. Our temperate southern climate, with our lakes and river and hiking-biking trails, means year-round recreation opportunities. Our average winter daily temperature is in the 60s: in summer, the 80s.

Education is a top priority – reflected in the excellence of our four school systems, Chambers County, Lanett City, Troup County and Harris County, and our private schools. And higher education is locally available. Columbus (Ga.) State University, offering four-year and post-graduate degrees, has an instructional site in West Point and Southern Union State Community College boasts a wide range of programs, as well as a One-Stop Career Center and short-term courses in manufacturing skills. Auburn (Ala.) University is only 30 minutes away and LaGrange (Ga.) College is just 20 minutes.

Our civic clubs – Lions Club International, Rotary International, Kiwanis International and other community organizations – are committed to enhancing quality of life through community involvement. Other local organizations offer unlimited volunteer opportunities.

Our community calendar is a reflection of the scope of upcoming events and opportunities to be involved in community life. From the young family relocating for career opportunities to the retirees looking for a relaxing but stimulating lifestyle, we believe you’ll find your best place right here!
