Collaboration was the theme at Monday night’s Joint Municipal Association meeting as officials reported and heard progress toward cultivating a unified Northeast Georgia presence that is economically sound and sustainable.
Keep Hall Beautiful Executive Director Kelly Norman and Oakwood City Manager Stan Brown trotted out the newly formed Hall County Green Alliance, born out of the former Hall County Management System. The new alliance is managed as a program under Keep Hall Beautiful.
“This is the same animal, but with a different name,” said Brown. “The whole idea is to put environment and economic development as priorities.”
The alliance was conceived as a grass-roots group, and is made up of public, private and institutional partners, who all share an investment in successful economic development through conservation-oriented sustainable practices.
“This is not a pay-to-play type thing,” Brown said, but one open to all constituencies. It includes 25 organizational partners. “When environment and economic development interact,” he said, a higher quality of life for all is achieved.
