Transit Development Plan (TDP) for Early County in Development
The Southwest Georgia Regional Commission is currently developing a Transit Development Plan (TDP) for Early County. This effort aims to strengthen coordination and collaboration while supporting local planning and informational needs. The plan is funded through a planning grant from GDOT and is intended to serve as a guiding resource for the county and its municipalities.
Early County, its municipalities, and GDOT, will be encouraged to use this plan to help inform future decisions related to rural public transit services.
A public input meeting on Regional Transit is scheduled at the Blakely Library:
Transit Needs Assessment - Thursday, April 9th at 1:00 PM

Rural organizations working to expand housing and community development now have an opportunity to receive free technical support through the Housing Assistance Council’s OneRural Technical Assistance Program. Applications for Round 6 are now open and will be accepted through March 31, 2026, with additional applications considered through April 15 if space remains. Funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Rural Capacity Building Program and USDA Rural Development’s Rural Community Development Initiative, OneRural provides no-cost, one-on-one technical assistance to help rural organizations strengthen operations, build capacity, and expand affordable housing and community development efforts. Selected participants receive expert guidance on housing development and financing, specialized training resources, and support from a dedicated HAC team partner to help implement solutions and grow long-term impact.
