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.
