There is a unique pride-factor that local Fairburn residents are known for. That uniqueness is what makes Fairburn such a desirable location to live, clearly evident in long term growth shown year to year over the past decade. Fairburn touts “Community” and the hospitality of helping one another as it’s main attraction.
Over the past several years, the downtown area has undergone a revitalization process and the economy of the downtown is improving. An award winning revitalization plan was prepared for the district in 1988 and is currently guiding implementation of improvements by the Downtown Development Authority. With easy access to interstate 85 and Hartsfield Jackson International Airport, Fairburn is perfectly positioned for all your business and personal needs. Our downtown Commercial District, listed in the National Register of Historic Places, includes 20 different commercial buildings and two train depots dating from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
