Map of Georgia
The development organization for the SCRC program in Georgia functions within the Governor’s Office. Administration responsibilities for the development programs of the SCRC are assigned by the Governor to the ADECA Director. As such, the Director serves as an Alternate State Member of the Commission.
SCRC will invest in the region’s economic future through a grant program, publishing research, and learning experiences to help communities grasp opportunities, address economic disparity, and prosper.
SCRC grants will require a varying degree of match from 20 percent to 50 percent depending on the level of distress in the county and will support basic infrastructure, business development, natural resources, and workforce/labor development.
The Local Development Districts (LDDs) are our local partners and are an active and essential part of the SCRC partnership. There are nine LDDs in Georgia’s SCRC region, and each LDD operates under a Board of Directors composed of elected representatives from the various local governments.
Georgia’s SCRC counties include Butts County, Camden County, Candler County, Chatham County, Chattahoochee County, Crawford County, DeKalb County, Echols County, Glascock County, Glynn County, Henry County, Houston County, Jasper County, Jones County, Lamar County, Liberty County, Lincoln County, Long County, Lowndes County, Marion County, McIntosh County, Miller County, Monroe County, Muscogee County, Newton County, Oglethorpe County, Pierce County, Pulaski County, Putnam County, Rockdale County, Schley County, Thomas County, Tift County, Troup County, Walton County, and Wilkes County.
