Question

1. Another factor that attracts me to working in Georgia  is that it brings me closer to my town.

2. Another factor that attracts me to work in Georgia  is that it brings me closer to my town.

Which one is correct?

Answer

In these sentences, "working" and "work" are nouns. You can use either one. They mean the same but feel quite different. Present participles create images in the mind. I would argue that that is their principal function in the English language. "Working" creates an image of a person working - of something ongoing and happening - that "work" simply does not do.  #1 sounds more descriptive. #2 sounds more factual.

Answer

They're both correct and equally good.
