The bottom line is this: how do you expect our community to grow and thrive without available housing? We are at full capacity. Therefore, as we welcome new business and industry to Stephens County, we must also welcome new residential development to support our business community to help them hire qualified employees to live in the community where they work and play. Keeping our tax dollars right here in Stephens County. In order for Stephens County to continue to grow we must have more available housing.
We are so thankful for a community that comes together in unity to move forward and create a better tomorrow for the future generations of Toccoa-Stephens County.

He had three kids that she raised as her own. My uncle Adam, my aunt Tara, and my mom Carmen, since they were young. Emily has always been there for us and would always do any and everything we asked. She is so kind and we all love her so much.”
