Makita U.S.A. hasn’t formally pinpointed its new Flowery Branch location, but Hall County records may have solved the mystery.
Tax records show that the California-based, high-end power tool maker has bought 94 acres off Falcon Parkway in the South Hall city. The $7.8 million sale was done in three different transactions involving two parcels — one that is 80 acres and one that is 14 acres, according to the records.
