ATLANTA (October 13, 2017) | Senator Harold Jones II (D — Augusta) was recently appointed to the Senate Information Technology Corridors Study Committee by Lt. Governor Casey Cagle. The committee is charged with examining how information technology corridors can help increase economic development for the state.
“We know that information technology and cyber will lead the way for future economic development for the state and the nation. Information technology corridors could be one mechanism the state uses to harness the economic development potential for Information technology and cyber. It says a lot about the economic potential of Augusta and the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA) that this Study Committee is coming to Augusta,” said Sen. Jones II. “Information technology and cyber has created tremendous potential for our community, but I want to also add that as a community we must make sure we develop a comprehensive plan on how to take advantage of these opportunities.”
