An RFQ for a new study of the SC 19 corridor study has been issued and will close on March 5th. 4 6. Presentation on the Connect Central Georgia Study - Elizabeth Sanford, Cambridge Systematics, Inc. Mr. DeCamp introduced this presentation. GA DOT is sponsoring an ongoing study called the Connect Central Georgia Study. This study is designed to identify and prioritize transportation projects that complement existing projects that are already in the STIP and /or regional TIPs. This is not designed to reinvent the wheel with regards to transportation connections throughout the thirty-one county area across central Georgia, but rather to complement what is on the books and find ways to fill in the gaps. The goal is to improve mobility for motorists and freight haulers across this area stretching from Augusta on the east, down through Macon and over to Columbus. Garth Lynch with HNTB and Liz Sanford with Cambridge Systematics will be making this presentation. Mr. Lynch stated the study has been underway for about seven months and will go through August of this year. For many years, improved connectivity across Central Georgia has been a priority of Georgia's leadership. Home to three of Georgia's largest cities, the corridor has been a strategic target for economic development initiatives and is identified as a critical freight and mobility link between Georgia and the Southeastern U.S. in Georgia's Statewide Strategic Transportation Plan (201 0-2030), also known as Investing in Tomorrow's Transportation Today (IT3). Facilitating efficient east-west mobility across central Georgia is critical for several reasons.

P.O. Box 250 Ellerslie, Georgia 31807 Principal Investigator, Daniel T. Elliott _________________________________ April 2002 Abstract Archaeological data recovery at the Hannah’s Quarter site (9Jf195) in rural Jefferson County, Georgia was conducted by Southern Research Historic Preservation Consultants in 2001. This project was performed for the Georgia Department of Transportation through a contract with Earth Tech in Raleigh, NC as Section 106 compliance in advance of the Fall Line Freeway construction. The archaeological study uncovered a small residential compound from the late eighteenth through early nineteenth centuries. Three dwelling loci and one possible outbuilding locus were delineated. The occupation at this site was evidenced by a series of cultural features, including pits, posts, and cellars and extremely sparse material culture evidence. The settlement began as part of the Queensborough Township, which was populated by Scots-Irish Presbyterians from northern Ireland from about 1768 to 1772. William Hannah was identified as a strong candidate for being the original owner of the property at 9Jf195.

  • 2022 Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (Ceds)
    2017 – 2022 COMPREHENSIVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY (CEDS) For Economic Prosperity in a Thriving Middle Georgia DRAFT – FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ONLY Prepared for: U.S. Economic Development Administration Middle Georgia Economic Development District 1 Executive Summary When charting the course for the Middle Georgia Economic Development District for the next five, ten, and twenty years, regional leaders focused on one adjective: THRIVING. In times where it seems overly difficult for a community to simply survive, the goal must be to aim higher. Middle Georgia seeks to be a diverse region of opportunity, where people want to live, learn, work, and play. This guiding vision drives the Middle Georgia Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) toward the end goal of increasing economic prosperity for all within the region. Certainly, there are challenges in the Middle Georgia region. Economically, the region lags behind most other regions in terms of the well-being of its residents; many individuals find themselves out of work and without the necessary skills to obtain employment. Middle Georgia also tends to fall behind others in innovation. The leading edge of industry is too often found elsewhere, with Middle Georgia struggling to catch up. However, many of the resources necessary to undertake a regional transformation are already in place. A number of industries are poised to see significant growth in Middle Georgia, and a renewed focus on fostering entrepreneurship in the region has the potential to drive new growth and development. The greatest need over the next five years is to support projects which increase the region’s capacity for continued growth and adequately position Middle Georgia to capitalize on growing trends in the national market.
