Georgia Super Sites

Technology Ridge
Cherokee County, Georgia
If you don’t have a foothold yet in Metro Atlanta, but plan to get one in the next couple of years, take a look at Technology Ridge, located about 40 minutes north of downtown Atlanta in Cherokee County. While this super site is not ready for occupancy (infrastructure will be completed within two years), Technology Ridge has the potential to be Atlanta’s premiere high-tech location for the next five to six years. The park will encompass 627 acres and is being modeled after the highly successful Johns Creek Park, which is located in Fulton County and south Forsyth County in Metro Atlanta.

Plans for the development, which totals 1,900 acres, include a 300-acre reservoir/lake in the center of the 627-acre business park and a 900-acre residential development. It is anticipated that the park will contain a satellite campus for Appalachian Technical College. The park borders I-575 in the city of Canton. The right-of-way for the “Northern Arc” (a.k.a. Outer Perimeter)—a proposed limited access toll-way connecting east-west across the north Atlanta suburbs from I-75 to I-85—bounds the southern limits of the park. If you’re mapping out a site in Atlanta in the near future, this park is certainly one to check out.
