The City of Colquitt has successfully completed its Fiscal Year 2022 Redevelopment Fund (RDF) Grant Project, totaling $708,297, which included the demolition, stabilization, and rehabilitation of the property located at 106 North First Street. This revitalized site is now home to the Hospital Authority Training Center of Miller County, representing a meaningful investment in both infrastructure and workforce development for the community.
As a result of this project, a total of 80 new jobs have been created in Colquitt, with positions ranging from service workers and technicians to clerical staff. The Hospital Authority of Miller County anticipates hiring a significant number of employees from low- and moderate-income backgrounds, helping to expand economic opportunity for local residents.
This project demonstrates the positive impact of targeted redevelopment efforts, transforming an underutilized property into a productive facility that supports job creation, workforce training, and long-term community growth.
