Voices from the Community

NMTCs provide access for low-income residents, low-income persons and low-income communities to realize their goals and plans. Whether it is growth in the industrial park and access to quality, accessible jobs, increased access to affordable healthcare and workforce training or the rejuvenation of downtown with mixed-use commercial and housing along historic main-street squares, this subsidy has a vital role to play in bringing rural GA back into the economic mainstream. We must retain and reclaim or young population and to do this we must use flexible resources to attract business and develop amenity infrastructure that makes us a vital and thriving community long-term.
