We are grateful for this partnership with Dr. Asli Aslan and the Institute for Water and Health at Georgia Southern University that helped us better understand water and health in our coastal community.

Today, we completed the fourth and final installment of the Georgia Southern University Institute for Water and Health Water Stewards Program, with each participant receiving a Water Stewards Certificate of Completion.

Through a full day of learning and hands-on training to become certified Georgia Adopt-A-Stream volunteers, participants gained practical experience with the methods they’ll use to help monitor the health of our local waterways.

Now, we await the results of the final written test! Those who earn their certification will be ready to put their training into action by assisting with water quality testing throughout our community.

Thank you to every participant who committed their time to learning more about our water resources and becoming an active part of protecting them.

Members of the LCDA board and staff had a great time at the Liberty Chamber’s Business After Hours hosted by Savannah Technical College at our Liberty Campus! It was wonderful to see so many community leaders, business professionals, faculty, and staff gathered together and celebrating former Hinesville Mayor Tom Ratcliffe and Liberty County Commission Chairman Donald Lovette for their longtime service on the college’s governing board.

Savannah Tech is doing incredible work right here in Liberty County, helping students learn valuable trades, earn certifications, or begin their college journey in an affordable way before transferring to a four-year university. These opportunities help build stronger families, a stronger workforce, and a stronger community.

Let's continue supporting our Liberty Campus and its mission to provide pathways to great careers and better futures for the people of Liberty County. We're fortunate to have this resource in our backyard!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for LCDA’s first annual Tradeport East Property Owners Association Meeting at Dorchester Shooting Preserve. A special thank you to Dorchester for hosting us. As a neighbor that shares Old Sunbury Road, Tradeport East’s main arterial road and the entrance to Dorchester’s property, they are an important part of the broader community surrounding the park.

We’re excited to see this great community of industries share our vision for maintaining Tradeport East as a premier business park that all of Liberty County can be proud of.

Here’s to great partnerships, shared pride and an even brighter future for Tradeport East!

The LCDA FY26 Year in Review is here!

Click here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiWFaXisxIw

In May 2025, the LCDA Board of Directors approved LINK LIBERTY, our strategic plan designed to guide our work, sharpen our priorities and keep us focused on what matters most for Liberty County. Throughout FY26, that plan shaped our initiatives, partnerships and investments, and it continues to drive our work today.

While no Year in Review could possibly recognize every effort, person, organization, industry and community partner who contributed to our progress, please know how grateful we are for everyone who played a role in moving Liberty County forward. Our successes are shared successes.

As we look ahead, we're building on the accomplishments, lessons learned and momentum of the past year with an even greater commitment to our mission: creating opportunities, strengthening our economy and, most importantly, raising the standard of living for the residents of Liberty County.

There is much more work to do, and we're excited about what's ahead.
