Burke County's seat, Waynesboro, sits near Plant Vogtle, the largest nuclear power plant in the country by generating capacity. Units 3 and 4 were the first new nuclear reactor units built in the country in 30 years, adding 800 permanent jobs to a workforce that cycles through continuous maintenance outages year-round. Burke County posted the highest average weekly wage of any of Georgia's 147 smaller counties in the third quarter of 2025, at $1,303, per Bureau of Labor Statistics data. County GDP climbed 15.6 percent in 2024, the fastest pace in the Augusta metro area, largely on a 35 percent jump in utilities output tied to Plant Vogtle's expansion. Jefferson County, home to Stuckey's Corporation headquarters and candy plant in Wrens, posted GDP growth to $728.9 million in 2024, up from $696.2 million in 2022. Waynesboro sits roughly 30 minutes south of downtown Augusta, putting the region's largest metro area within easy reach. Augusta is home to The Masters, which draws roughly 200,000 visitors a year, and sees steady rotating demand from healthcare and defense workers cycling through Fort Eisenhower, AU Medical Center, and Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center. Waynesboro has carried the nickname Bird Dog Capital of the World since 1903, when the Georgia Field Trials began drawing competitors to Di-Lane Plantation each January. The city also hosts the Boss Hog Cook-Off, a Kansas City Barbeque Society-sanctioned event now in its 20th year, bringing competition barbeque teams in from across the Southeast every spring. The Savannah and Ogeechee Rivers, along with Brier Creek, give the county freshwater fishing and boating close to home.
