The Authority, which is housed with the Moultrie-Colquitt County Chamber of Commerce at 116 1st Avenue SE, is governed by locally appointed board members. Local Development Authorities play a significant role in the community, creating a more prosperous community through economic development efforts, which requires knowing the community well, nurturing deep relationships with many stakeholders, having well-thought-out industry recruitment strategies, and demonstrating the ability to execute and deliver economic opportunities. The Authority is looking for a knowledgeable partner to collaborate with to elevate its website, to show case data center resources, and why selecting Moultrie is a desirable choice for industries and businesses.
