Testimonials

Jefferson County has much to offer with respect to quality of life for its residents.  The natural beauty and comfortable climate are big attractions; and the affordable land prices and below average living costs are appealing.  We’re a rural community with plenty of “elbow room”; but our close proximity to strategic business resources and major universities creates what we call “The Rural Advantage”.

Our community strikes a balance between protecting its pristine environment and fostering commercial growth and development.  We recognize the important link between the built environment, public health and economic prosperity. 

Jefferson County values its historical, cultural and natural resources and places a high priority on   creating a diverse and sustainability economy and quality of life.

“Bringing my business to Monticello was a good decision.  The rural setting of the community makes coming to work a pleasure.  Cooperation of local officials has been key to our success and the work ethic here has enabled me to assemble a first rate staff.”
