Authority
Overview The Greene County Development Authority is made up of six members
appointed by the Board of County Commissioners and the cities
of Greensboro and Union Point. The Authority is a State of Georgia
constitutionally chartered authority, which enables it more
freedom
than the statutory authority. We operate on a fiscal year (
January 1 through December 31 ) with our operating budget provided
by the
County, Greensboro, Union Point, Siloam, White Plains, and Woodville.
We engage a paid professional to handle the daily activities of
the authority. The Director of Economic Development is housed in
the Greene County Chamber of Commerce building in Greensboro, and
works Monday through Thursday 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. The Authority meets
at 8:00 am on the second Tuesday of each month at the Greensboro
City Hall.
The Authority works actively with the Lake Oconee Area Development
Authority to promote the lake area. We host the Greene County Manufacturers
Council in support of our existing industry program. We coordinate
our marketing program with the Georgia Department of Economic Development,
Georgia Power Company, the Georgia Electrical Membership Corporation
and other statewide economic development professionals.
We act as the central point of contact for business interested
in a Greene County location. We maintain a complete listing of
available sites and buildings suitable for industrial use as well
as demographics and supporting data essential to new and existing
industry and business activities. We work very closely with local
schools and universities in order to improve our education system,
our work force skills, and to setup QuickStart training programs
for new and expanding industry.
