Just three months after entering into an agreement with the City of St. Marys to repurpose the former St. Marys Airport into a Commerce Park for light industry, the Camden County Joint Development Authority has been awarded $2.3 Million by the State of Georgia to help make the project a reality.   Georgia’s new Rural Innovation Fund is designed to assist rural communities in overcoming barriers to economic development by providing funding for necessary public infrastructure like roads, water, and sewer.

St. Mary’s Mayor John Morrissey added, “The City of St. Marys is committed to redeveloping this stranded asset, and we are grateful for the State’s assistance in this effort.”
