Baker County
Baker continues to promote its two privately owned industrial parks, 900-acre Jackson-Shaw on the east side and 1,000-acre Woodstock on the west, though no major announcements are expected this year. Darryl Register, executive director of both the Economic Development Council and Chamber of Commerce, says he's courting a prospect for one of the county-owned industrial parks that's a "cross between healthcare and manufacturing that's a very unique business, something we don't have in the region today." Manufacturing and distribution remain the most active sectors. A mining operation has reportedly committed to the county. There's also a tile manufacturing facility that closed over a year ago that plans to reopen once the housing market rebounds, potentially creating about 80 jobs. "We do have some folks looking compared to three years previous," Register says. "There's quite a bit of activity and interest, which is exciting."
