What is 478

Robins Air Force Base in Warner Robins houses the Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex, the largest aircraft repair and maintenance operation in the US Air Force, employing over 10,000 civilian and military personnel and generating the largest economic impact of any installation in Georgia. Atrium Health Navicent in Macon is Central Georgia's primary academic medical centre. Middle Georgia State University serves the region's higher education needs. The Macon metro's diverse manufacturing base — including automotive components, food processing, and industrial equipment — rounds out Central Georgia's economy.
