OF CAMDEN COUNTY, GEORGIA
Prepared for The Camden Partnership and the
Camden County Public Service Authority
Prepared by Georgia Tech’s Office of Economic Development &
Technology Ventures (EDTV)
In Partnership with Georgia Tech’s Center for Quality Growth
and Regional Development (CQGRD)
Camden County’s community vision centers on its
aspiration “to be a desirable place to live, to manage growth and
development, and to achieve economic prosperity.” To help realize
that vision, The Camden Partnership and the Camden County Public
Service Authority undertook a study to investigate opportunities for
economic diversification within Camden County that will enable the
community to reduce its economic dependence upon the Naval Submarine
Base Kings Bay. They contracted with a Georgia Tech team to review
Camden County’s suitability for economic diversification and issues
affecting its potential for sustainable and quality development. The
goal of this effort is to recommend priority actions for Camden
County that are:
-
Compatible with
Camden County’s vision and quality of life.
-
Feasible given
Camden County’s strengths and weaknesses.
-
Implementable
given Camden County’s resources and leadership.
-
Strategic for
enabling Camden County to move forward on the most promising
opportunities.
