As the Granite Capital of the World, Elberton and Elbert County offer a unique professional landscape where the granite industry plays a pivotal role. In Elbert County, careers are chiseled from the same rock that has supported the region for generations, creating opportunities as enduring and steadfast as the stone itself.

Approximately 29 businesses employ nearly 400 production workers in cut stone and stone product manufacturing, while another 350 people work for 35 brick, stone and related construction material wholesalers. But while the granite industry is a solid base of employment in the county, many other sectors round out the community, from education to healthcare, from retail to engineering.

Elbert County’s focus on spreading broadband internet service county wide at reasonable rates has attracted some remote workers who enjoy access to the latest technology combined with forest hikes, lake life, and hometown welcomes.
