  • Chapter 3: Where Are We
    3 Where Are We Now 3.1 Socio‐Economic Overview The ARTS planning area after suffering along with the nation from the bursting of the housing bubble in mid‐2007 has recently commenced a sustained socio‐economic comeback. The relatively low cost of living, maturing of the baby‐boom population, military influence, and the natural beauty in the region continues to sustain population growth. The dominance of stable public sector jobs has been eclipsed by service sector job growth, primarily in the areas of health care, data management, information technology and educational services. The opening of a UNISYS Call Center in downtown Augusta, relocation of the National Cyber Command to Fort Gordon, construction of the Augusta Corporate Park and the establishment of supporting businesses and accommodations servicing these new employers will enhance the economic strengths of the ARTS planning area. However, with the increasing competition from other metropolitan areas to secure jobs, challenges remain for the ARTS planning area. A selection of opportunities, strengths and future socio‐economic challenges in the study area are presented in Table 4. Table 4: Opportunities, Strengths, and Challenges Challenges Opportunities and Strengths Availability of workforce for new industries Abundant and qualified workforce Availability of sites for industrial location Robust Transportation Infrastructure Concentration of health services and Availability of supporting infrastructure activity centers Neighborhoods requesting public Extent of Public Transportation

Central Martinez Area Study 4:2 EXISTING CONDITIONS DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE The demographic characteristics of the Martinez retail trade area and residential market area are provided in this section. The retail trade area is defined by a 20-minute drive from the intersection of Bobby Jones Expressway and Washington Road while the residential market area consists of a larger 25-minute drive area. Both areas are defined as the geographic area from which the large majority of potential customers or residents of new housing developed in the study area originate. The delineation of the trade and market areas (displayed on the map below) are not meant to suggest that prospective customers of study area businesses and residents of newly developed housing will be drawn solely from these geographic areas. Because of the study area’s location and planned and proposed nearby development activity, it is expected that prospective customers and new residents will also be attracted to the study area from outside of the 20- and 25-minute areas. Comparisons with Martinez, Columbia County, the Augusta MSA (which includes Columbia, Richmond and McDuffie Counties in Georgia and Aiken and Edgefield Counties in South Carolina) and the Retail Trade and Residential Market Areas Martinez Study – Existing Conditions Page 2 state of Georgia are made where appropriate.
