Building Opportunities On MainStreet

BOOMtown was a state initiative to enhance job creation in Georgia's Main Street communities through encouraged and improved use of economic development tools.

Additional Information

Pilot City Program

The Department of Community Affairs (DCA) selected Madison as one of six pilot BOOMtown communities in March 2012. Utilizing DCA assistance over a 18 month period, Madison - with its partner city, Jefferson, GA - learned about economic development tools and "outfitted" our local toolbox. 

Economic Development Tools

We know that in today's challenging economic climate businesses and developers must take advantage of any and all available economic development tools for creating and protecting jobs. We are available to help you utilize these tools to the maximum extent possible.
