Welcome To Brooks County

The Quitman-Brooks County Chamber of Commerce welcomes you to Brooks County, Georgia! Our chamber has a vision for Brooks County and we are actively working to fulfill that vision.

We believe in a growing supportive community that provides new business and job opportunities. We believe in providing an entrepreneurial friendly atmosphere in Brooks County that supports new businesses and jobs. We support a growing tax base, created from new revenues, driven by growth. We believe in the creation of a destination for people from outside of Brooks County, so that they can see the benefit of spending a few hours or staying for a lifetime. We believe in a strong educational system as well as the creation of additional recreational and cultural activities. We believe in and care about the future of Brooks County.

With a rich history, a heritage of community spirit, fertile soil, and an abundant supply of appeal for the outdoorsman, Brooks County offers something for everyone.

Located conveniently to both Interstate 75 and Interstate 10, two major U.S. arteries that can carry you from East coast to West coast or from the Florida peninsula to the Northeast, Brooks County offers a pleasant balance of close proximity to the service and sophistication of nearby cities yet the enjoyment of an unhurried hometown lifestyle.
