“We are excited to return to Tift County to present a suggested strategy based on the observations and research from our initial resource team visit this past summer,” said Bruce Green, Director of Tourism Product Development at the Georgia Department of Economic Development. “The team spent time with community leaders exploring possible cultural tourism opportunities that will be critical to Tift County’s continued progress and success.”
Following initial staff visits, Tift County was selected by the Georgia Tourism division to participate in this initiative, which focuses technical assistance in the form of a reconnaissance and strategy visit to a local community interested in developing its tourism potential.

The representatives from multiple state agencies who are part of the resource team will return to the community to discuss their findings and their assessment of the tourism assets related to heritage and cultural tourism, nature-based tourism, agritourism and retail development. The final report is a 30-month strategy for initiating the development of a tourism-based economy in Tifton and Tift County. The report will include the potential for utilizing cultural and heritage tourism district zoning, downtown development programs, and historic preservation and economic development tools.
“Everyone in the community is invited to attend this town hall style meeting to discuss tourism and growth in our great community,” said Tyron Spearman, Executive Director of the Tifton-Tift County Tourism Association. “Please share this with your friends, family, neighbors and co-workers. Let’s all join together to grow this town!”
