I had the pleasure of attending the South Augusta Business Breakfast once again and was very impressed with the conversation and comments involving the growth of Augusta and CSRA as a whole. In summary, the breakfast group all agreed that Augusta is growing and fast becoming an economic giant in the South.  This is great news for entrepreneurs who are always looking for growing markets to expand or develop new business ventures.

One great comment brought up at the breakfast was the type of jobs and education needed to fuel growth in the economy. Augusta State University was recognized as one of the top schools in Georgia for businesses with some of the highest grades. This statement lead me to believe that with the right talent already being developed in our community, Augusta is well positioned to emerge as the most profitable place for new and expanding businesses.

What do you think about the growth of Augusta within the next few years?
