This past week, we had the privilege of traveling to Washington, D.C., alongside community leaders from across the Golden Isles for our annual Washington Fly-In.
Throughout the trip, we met with members of Congress and elected officials to discuss the priorities impacting our businesses, workforce and region. Conversations focused on economic development, workforce and education, transportation and infrastructure, healthcare, and policies that support continued growth and investment along Georgia’s coast.
The Washington Fly-In gives us an important opportunity to bring the voice of the Golden Isles directly to our nation’s capital, share the needs of our local business community and advocate for the resources and policies that help our region grow.
We are thankful to the community leaders who joined us and contributed their perspectives throughout the trip. Together, we are working to ensure the Golden Isles has a strong voice at the federal level while continuing to build opportunities for businesses, families and our community here at home.
Please join us in congratulating The Island Players on their ribbon cutting celebrating 70 years!

We are thankful for the creativity and dedication they bring to our community and the memorable experiences they share with residents and visitors alike.
