adel | COOK COUNTY: COMMUNITY IN MOTION
|
When it comes to location, Cook County has it in spades, with all the advantages of straddling the bustling Interstate 75 as it nears the Florida state line. And the longer Lisa Collins, executive director of the Cook County Economic Development Commission, is on the job, the more focus she’s able to place on developing those prime areas.
Case in point is this summer’s announcement that Houston-based Renewable Biomass Group will construct a $95-million wood pellet facility in Adel, initially creating 60 new jobs. Founder and CEO Craig Whitlock says its 18-month plan to be fully operational begins with breaking ground later this year. The facility will produce biomass pellets for export to Europe and Asia, where electrical utilities will use the pellets to stoke retrofitted coal-fired power plants or in combination with coal for co-firing. The 170-acre property is adjacent to I-75, and the company will use Norfolk Southern Railway to transport product to the Port of Savannah for overseas shipment to places such as Antwerp and Japan, says Whitlock, adding that use of the Port of Brunswick in addition to Savannah has potential for the future. The company projects a volume of 450,000 metric tons of finished product per year, he says. |

Whitlock says he has a deep appreciation for the leaders of Cook County that he’s worked with during the three years to bring the greenfield biomass project to fruition. It’s the company’s first foray into Georgia, which it chose after exploring potential in several other states.
“When we landed in Georgia and saw how robust it is and the proximity to a port that is moving significant volumes of pellets already and then found Adel, it stood out because of the people there,” he says. Read more...

Cities that are successful at luring residents and visitors all have one thing in common – a vision for making that happen. This year, the Georgia Municipal Association (GMA) and Georgia Trend have teamed up to honor nine cities with the inaugural Visionary City Award.
The award spotlights cities that have exhibited success in planning and forward-thinking in the areas of civic engagement and collaboration. “It’s our privilege to honor the elected officials, city staff and community leaders of these nine cities who’ve led these initiatives and projects,” says GMA Executive Director Larry Hanson. “These cities exemplify what it means to be forward-thinking for their residents and generations to come and also serve as inspiring examples of civility, collaboration and creating communities of positive change across Georgia.” These cities are grouped by population size – Large (more than 25,000), Medium (5,000 to 24,999) and Small (fewer than 4,999) – with projects that include public events, a rec center and park that honors a community leader, a city center, a data center, a creative district, an auditorium and broadband. The goal of each of these projects? To foster healthy working relationships and make the communities places where people truly love to live and work. Read more |
