Based in Augusta, Georgia, the Augusta Economic Development Authority is a small nonprofit organization focused on attracting and expanding industrial activity in the region. It targets manufacturing, distribution, assembly, and related facilities to Augusta and the surrounding area, with an emphasis on growing existing industries. The authority assists companies considering relocation or expansion in the Southeast by offering site-location support, workforce training through Georgia's QuickStart program (free to qualified businesses), workforce evaluation, demographic information, and financial assistance. Its appeal is reinforced by Augusta’s logistics advantages, including access to highways, ports, and a major airport, as well as available land, buildings, and reliable utilities suitable for industrial use. In 2024, the organization partnered with StandardAero, the Augusta Regional Airport, and the State of Georgia to support an expansion at StandardAero's Augusta business-aviation maintenance facility, adding an 80,500-square-foot hangar. This collaboration illustrates the authority’s role in facilitating partnerships that broaden manufacturing and related industrial capabilities in the Augusta region.
