Houston County is one of the most economically stable counties in Georgia, anchored by Robins Air Force Base -- the single largest industrial complex in the state of Georgia. With over 25,000 military and civilian employees, Robins AFB generates an estimated $4+ billion in annual economic impact and drives demand for virtually every type of small business.
Warner Robins, the county's largest city, has grown from a small Air Force town into a thriving mid-size city. Combined with the county seat of Perry (home to the Georgia National Fairgrounds) and the growing community of Centerville, Houston County offers a stable economy with lower cost of living than metro Atlanta and strong demand for professional services.
Whether your business is headquartered in Perry or operating out of a smaller community, we serve the entire county with the same level of service.

Serving Houston County means understanding the military-driven economy that has shaped Warner Robins and the surrounding communities for over 80 years.
Houston County was created in 1821 and Perry was established as the county seat. The county was primarily agricultural until World War II, when the US Army Air Corps established Robins Field in 1942. The base -- later renamed Robins Air Force Base -- transformed the county from a rural farming community into one of the most prosperous and stable economies in Georgia.
Robins Air Force Base is the single largest industrial complex in Georgia, employing over 25,000 military and civilian personnel. The base is home to the Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex, which maintains and repairs military aircraft including C-5 Galaxy, C-130 Hercules, and F-15 Eagle. This generates an enormous ecosystem of defense contractors, engineering firms, IT companies, and professional services.
Today, Houston County's economy extends well beyond the base. Houston Healthcare provides a strong medical sector, the Georgia National Fairgrounds in Perry draws events year-round, and the I-75 corridor supports growing retail and logistics operations. The county's relatively low cost of living and high-quality schools make it one of the most attractive places to do business in Central Georgia.
