Georgia’s Rural Center (The Center for Rural Prosperity and Innovation) strives to strengthen community and economic development in rural Georgia.
Georgia’s Rural Center exists to reconnect the state’s rural and urban people and places, rediscovering all that is unique and extraordinary in the state’s less populated areas and reminding all Georgians of the power and potential present in small towns and crossroads communities.
We work to recognize successful businesses and efforts and help other communities recreate those models throughout the state.
Believing that people are Georgia’s most valuable asset, we reinvest human capital in the state’s rural fringes through internship placement and innovative projects.
