Habersham development authority weighed putting EDC director in formal public leadership role

The latest documented action in a question over Habersham County’s economic-development leadership came Sept. 1, 2022, when the Habersham County Development Authority placed a proposed memorandum of understanding with Habersham Partnership for Growth Inc. on its meeting agenda. The agreement would define the economic-development corporation’s executive director as the authority’s primary leader in the community who was not a board member. The agenda called for the authority to consider and approve the proposal, but it does not show what members ultimately did.
