Tonight at 5:30 PM they welcome
new marketing person
Meghan Schunhoff, whose
linkedin profile
says she also works for
The Triangle Furniture Football Friday Night Radio Show- Black Crow Media
and she previously worked for
South Georgia Medical Center.
She is listed on the Development Authority’s Our Team web page as Marketing & Research Manager, with no picture or other information yet. Maybe it’s her job to put that there….
Meanwhile, thanks to Lu Williams for posting the agenda. FYI, they didn’t meet last month.

Monthly Meeting Agenda
On tonight’s Development Authority agenda,
I’m guessing GEDA is
Georgia Economic Development Association.
Nature Nate, you may recall, is the first occupant of Miller Business Park.
I continue to suggest the Development Authority put solar panels on much of that
unused business park land and turn the business parks into profit centers instead
of continual money sinks to service all those bonds that funded them.

Is the mysterious Project Max a glass container plant as everyone seems to think?
It’s on
the agenda that suddenly appeared on the Development Authority’s website
this afternoon after Gretchen called to ask where it was.
She will be there with the LAKE video camera.

They said almost nothing last month about
Project Max, so we don’t know for sure if for example it is really a glass container company.
They meet again tonight. Actually, that one is cancelled; they meet next April 19th.
At the end, Gretchen
spoke about:

The only named existing industry project is
Smith Drug, which
according to the VDT,
showed up here in 2009.
Tuesday 8 Sep 2015 at 10AM (no reason given for the odd date and time), the Development Authority is preparing for the Chamber Economic Summit 2015-010-08 and various other events, plus the usual reports. Here’s the agenda.

They meet again tonight; here are videos from last month, when
Electrical Test Labs of Georgia was recognized, and claimed dibs on some land.
The Development Authority re-elected its same officers, after extending the term of the Chairman to two years.
SGRC’s Corey Hull presented very briefly about the 2040 Transporation Plan, and asked for questions. The Development Authority had none.
Lots of dials showing Continue reading
The Development Authority begins tonight with a
presentation

A foreign trade zone is a federally approved location within the United States, which is considered outside of US Customs territory where domestic and foreign merchandise may be placed without formal customs entry and without payment of duties and taxes. Subzones are special-purpose facilities for companies unable to operate effectively at public zone sites. Foreign trade zones are usually located in or near Customs ports of entry, at industrial parks or terminal warehouse facilities. Their purpose is to attract and promote international trade and commerce.
WTC has more on that page, but never actually says where FTZ 104 is.

They meet again tonight with
a bylaw amendment scheduled, which is probably for extending officer terms to two years as Roy Copeland proposed.
(He first suggested that at least several years ago when he was re-elected Chairman.)
And their nominating committee nominated
the same officers again.
Lots of dials showing targets and where they are in reaching them, which is good, because I keep getting questions about what they’re doing with all that tax money and are they doing enough to justify it.
One citizen asked about the airport and another (OK, me) handed out Alapaha River Water Trail brochures and once again suggested solar panels at the airport to turn that otherwise-unusable space into profit.
Here’s the agenda and below are LAKE videos, followed by a playlist. Continue reading
