Houston and Bibb counties have
joined efforts to get the center

will be located in Bibb County. If
the government decides to employ
4,000 workers, it will be located in
Houston County according to
County Commission Chairman
Sherrill Stafford.
Stafford said Houston County
will benefit from the center whether
it’s located in Bibb County or
Houston County.
“If it’s located in Bibb County, a
lot of those people working there
will be living in Houston County,”
Stafford said.

compile the proposal, Houston
County won’t benefit as much if
the center is located in Bibb
County, but it will still benefit.
“It would be a boon to Middle
Georgia,” Martin said.
It could be July before the final
decision is made as to where the
center will be built, Martin said.
The government is expected to nar
row the list of 20 possible sites by
March.
“We did a good job preparing it
and presenting it,” Martin said. “No
one could have done a better job.”
He said the committee “made
them a good offer for both sites.”
Martin won’t comment on the
details of the proposal because they
are allowed to make addendums to
the proposal by mail. “This gives
us leeway to update our proposal.”
The Bibb-Houston County area
was chosen in the last cut from the
list of 200 to the current list of 20.
Augusta and Columbus didn’t make
the list of 20, leaving the Middle
Georgia area as the only Georgia
site being considered.
