Governor Deal signs legislation, budget in Tifton - Eve Guevara, Union Recorder
“The other two bills specifically are aimed at helping rural Georgia,” Deal said. “ABAC is going to be an important ingredient in making that legislation meaningful and I appreciate the support we have seen from ABAC. It’s important that we be able to provide the full gamut of economic development opportunities to all of our state.” The CRPI will be housed at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College and will focus on investment and revitalization for rural parts of the state. Deal said it would be a resource hub that will consolidate a lot of different functions in one place. “This will be a center where you bring in multiple different activities under the same organizational structure so they can share ideas and resources,” Deal said.
