From what we have heard through surveys and interviews .. Middle Georgia is a great place to move to or remain to live within! With the excellent reputation for educational institutions through to the liveabiilty appeal of places such as Macon, what do you think makes Middle Georgia an appealing place?
Do you think that Middle Georgia is sending out the message about the attraction and appeal of moving to the area?
Low cost of living and fair weather. Proximity to large cities and mountains/beach
Thank you Isabelle for your consistent input into this exciting process. The low cost of living and especially proximity to Atlanta and the airport have been mentioned throughout the process. The proximity to mountains and beaches hasn’t yet been highlighted, so thank you!
Blanket the local civic organizations with speakers at regular meetings (lunch, dinner, etc.). Establish a “Speaker’s Bureau” and prepare some “canned” messages, succinct but thorough, delivered by active participants in the Project. Examples: Kiwanis, Rotary, various Boards, PTA, church fellowships, etc.
Brilliant suggestions Jamie! All have been noted.
