Old Metter Warehouse Converted into Business Incubator

“METTER, Ga. (WTOC) -An old warehouse in Metter has new life, helping new businesses get started.

Not that long ago, this space was an old dingy warehouse for the City of Metter’s Public Works. Now, it’s almost ready to house new businesses looking to grow and for whom growth is part of the game.
