Once again, this property will be a pillar of economic activity and prosperity in the heart of McDonough,” stated McDonough Mayor Sandra Vincent and recently Retired McDonough Mayor Billy Copeland, jointly.
Verte will be revitalizing the former Snapper/Briggs and Stratton plant in McDonough that has been dormant in the community for many years. The plant was Henry County and McDonough’s largest private employer, and Verte will be the first long-term tenant in the building since the plant closed.

Verte joins a long list of established industries that have not only located in Henry County but have expanded due to the business success in the community.
