Community:

www.davidsoncountymag.com - Great information about the wonderful amenities and activities in the area.

Advantages to Area:

As part of the Piedmont Triad community, Thomasville was known as one of the state’s furniture manufacturing centers. Thomasville has small town charm with convenient big city access. It is a warm, welcoming, tradition-rich community. With the closing of Thomasville furniture industries a number of years ago, businesses such as Whitewood industries, Old Dominion freight line, Mohawk industries, and a number of others have continued to be successful in our community. Both Thomasville and Davidson County are in good financial shape while having low property taxes and one of the lower costs of living within the Piedmont Triad area.

The next CEO and family are expected to live in the area.
