WE NEED YOUR HELP!


Increasing High-Speed, BroadBand Internet in Our Area

The Internet has become more than a secondary, luxury item. Today, businesses, families, schools, and communities at large rely on being connected electronically. From homework assignments, to work requirements, to opportunities for remote-worker jobs, the reach and potential of high-speed broadband internet connection is paramount to the success of our community. 

How can you help? It's simple. Just fill out the form below with your address information and note whether you are a residential internet user, a commercial internet customer, or do not have access to high-speed internet at your home or business. Then, follow the on-screen instructions to take a speed test of your internet connection. This information will be used to both determine interest and prove the need for an expansion of broadband service in our area. We can then utilize this information to apply for grants and other funding initiatives. 

Thank You for Helping Us Grow as a Truly Connected Community!

WHAT WE DO

Our Plan of Action

The Economic Development Authority of Claxton & Evans County works to increase the economic opportunities within Evans County and our region. We promote the development of our community's economic assets. We work to attract new industry and support existing business to generate new investment and create jobs. We utilize our partnerships on the state and local level to promote Evans County, to support our businesses, and improve the overall quality of life in Evans County. Our four primary focuses of success are as follows:

Business Retention & Expansion

We support our existing industries. It’s estimated that 65 – 70% of new jobs are created by existing businesses. Our mission is to meet with our existing industries each year to learn about their challenges and opportunities. With our state and local partners, we can provide connections, information, services, and solutions to support our local businesses and encourage growth. We can provide assistance with financing, workforce development, infrastructure development, and international business.

Retail Development

Retail recruitment and development is a key component to the EDA's focus. We feel retail is an essential part of our local economy. The choices available impact how our citizens live, work, and play and the tax revenues generated support basic community services. We work to recruit new retail, restaurants, and hotels to the Evans County community by analyzing our community’s needs, identifying available properties, and making strategic business connections.

A Message from the Director

Welcome to Evans County, Georgia – at the crossroads of community and commerce!

We are located in a prime location for your business and family. The county seat, Claxton, famously known for fruitcake and chicken, is located at the intersection of major US Highways 280 and 301. Just take a short 10-minute drive to Interstate 16, and a 50-minute drive to the Port of Savannah, the largest single container terminal in North America.

Our community boasts an easy way of living within reach of Georgia’s most exciting and important amenities. We are only a three-hour drive from Atlanta, and a two-hour drive from Augusta, Macon, and Jacksonville, Fl.

With Georgia Southern University, East Georgia State College, and Ogeechee Technical College servicing our area, Evans County has a skilled, educated labor force.

Our Industrial Park West is GRAD-certified and shovel ready, with all infrastructure in place and almost 150 acres of land to develop.

We look forward to working alongside you!

Director, Claxton-Evans County EDA
