About
The Moultrie-Colquitt County Development Authority was created in 1960 through an amendment to the Georgia Constitution. The Authority, which is housed with the Moultrie-Colquitt County Welcome Center located at 31 E Central Ave, is governed by locally appointed board members.
Local Development Authorities play an incredibly important role in the community. Authorities create 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.
