SCDA Touts Water System

The Stephens County Development Authority will focus its efforts on wooing members of the beverage industry to Stephens County.

“With our water system, it’s a good match,” said SCDA executive director Tim Martin, adding that the SCDA is still actively researching and recruiting a wide range of industries.

“We do try to maintain aggressive outreach,” he told city and county commissioners during the annual SCDA update given to both commissions earlier this month.

Martin reported on the activities and contacts of the SCDA over the past year.

He said the number of industry representatives who have spoken with the SCDA but have not visited the county or met in person with SCDA members has gone down slightly in the past year, but that the number of potential industry representatives who have visited the county has gone up slightly.

Martin said he and the authority’s various committees continue to stay in close contact with a network of individuals – from state and federal government officials to business and industry consultants and representatives – to get the information about Stephens County out to a wide base of prospects.
