They located in Auburn because of Auburn University and its well-recognized school of engineering (6,258 students), the cosmopolitan feel of a progressive and diverse community, a quality of life including a nationally ranked public school system, the positive demographics (fastest growing city in Alabama and approximately 900,000 people living within a 50 mile radius), an excellent infrastructure including the proximity to the Atlanta International Airport which serves more than 75 international destinations and 150 U.S. destinations.
