It blends the historic atmosphere of the older cities of Roswell and Alpharetta with the urban atmosphere of Sandy Springs. Many high-tech, white-collar and international businesses are drawn to the bustling GA 400 corridor and to planned communities like John's Creek, Windward and Oxford Green. Relocations and expansions by Equifax, Kaiser Permanente, AT&T, State Farm and UPS have added thousands of jobs.
