The House Rural Development Council, led by co-chairs Rep. Terry England (R-Auburn) and Rep. Jay Powell (R-Camilla), released its recommendations for the 2019 legislative session of the Georgia General Assembly.

“These recommendations reflect the council’s in-depth work and research that we have gathered as we have traveled the state over the last two years,” said Rep. England. “The council’s recommendations will provide us with a solid framework as we begin to craft legislation for the 2019 legislative session.”

“Last session, rural Georgia saw tremendous legislative success in the General Assembly, but there is still much work to be done,” said Rep. Powell. “Our recommendations for 2019 legislative session seek to address some of those concerns that still need to be met in rural Georgia.”

This council, which was created by House Resolution 389 during the 2017 legislative session, works with rural communities to find ways to encourage economic growth.
