HINESVILLE, GA – MAY 22, 2025 – At its Monday meeting, the Liberty County Development Authority (LCDA) Board of Directors unanimously approved LINK Liberty, a bold new five-year strategic plan designed to drive economic growth and prosperity throughout Liberty County.
“This is a great milestone in the history of this organization and our community. I am encouraged about the work we are doing now that will improve lives and livelihoods in Liberty County,” said State Representative Al Williams, LCDA board chairman.
LINK Liberty is the result of months of in-depth research, data analysis, site evaluations, community tours, and feedback from over 400 individuals through interviews, focus groups, and surveys. The plan outlines a clear, collaborative path forward to enhance the region’s economic future.
To develop the plan, LCDA partnered with Boyette, a nationally recognized economic development consulting firm with extensive experience across Georgia and the Southeast. Boyette’s president, Del Boyette, is a former Deputy Commissioner of the Georgia Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism and previously led the Incentives division at Deloitte with his Boyette COO Tracy Sharp. His team brings deep insight into the strategies that power high-performing communities.
LINK Liberty builds on existing initiatives, introduces new approaches, and encourages seizing opportunities to elevate Liberty County and its residents.
“While many of the recommendations in our plan fall within LCDA’s scope, the plan emphasizes the importance of partnerships and collaboration across the community,” said LCDA CEO Brynn Grant. “It invites organizations and stakeholders to work together, pooling resources, expertise, energy and ideas to achieve shared success.”
The strategic plan identifies five target industry sectors for growth:
- Automotive and Electric Vehicle (EV) Suppliers
- Aerospace and Aviation
- Department of Defense Suppliers
- Cold Storage and E-Commerce
- Foreign Direct Investment
LINK Liberty offers guidance without imposing limitations, providing a flexible roadmap for sustainable development and future investment.
LCDA staff is organizing efforts around the themes presented in the plan and will be engaging local organizations interested in leading or getting involved.
Printed copies of the plan are available at the LCDA office, located at 425 W. Oglethorpe Highway. It is also accessible online at comegrow.global/strategicplan.
