Warner Robins Gets Little League Regional Headquarters

Beginning in 2010, little league baseball players from around the southeast will take the field here in Georgia.
Little League International has chosen Warner Robins as the new home of the southeast region headquarters. Starting a year from July players from eight southern states will travel here to play championship games.
Warner Robins will partner with little league to build a new 5-thousand seat stadium and offices for the leagues four full time employees. Morgan Law is with the Houston County Development Authority. He says the economic impact is hard to measure.

"Ten days of tournaments, you're talking thousands of people coming to the community to see these, spending nights in hotel rooms, going out to eat, buying necessary goodies and visiting our attractions in the area, so it will really have a tremendous impact."

Warner Robins beat out eighteen other communities for the selection. Law says having back to back little league world champions from Georgia two years in a row didn't hurt either.
