Educational Opportunities: 

ECG's Education and Development is excited to announce the new Community Development course offerings. These courses are designed to educate and bridge the gap between elected officials, economic development professionals and community stakeholders.  Course topics include how to evaluate and develop industrial property and understanding the site selection process.

To date, the Cities of Douglas and Covington have taken advantage of this new opportunity.    Roger Harrison, Vice President of Economic Development for Covington-Newton County had this to say about the course the Chamber hosted "Jay's workshop has had an immediate and lasting impact on aligning our economic development stakeholders around what the short and long-term necessities are for running a successful economic development office. We have heard only positive feedback on the knowledge and expertise Jay brought to the community for the event. ECG's partnership with Covington/Newton County is strong, and we appreciate all they do to assist us in our progress."
