Legislative Priorities

☑ A Prosperous Community

Support for funding affordable housing, workforce initiatives, and Port of Brunswick expansion.

☑ A Well Planned Community

Expansion of the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program to infill housing and the Georgia Dream Homeownership Program for Brunswick residents.

☑ A Safe and Secure Community

Secure traffic calming & engage in EPA/EPD initiatives, such as air quality issues and sea level rising (SLR) projects.

☑ A Desired Location to Visit and Live

Support funding to combat chronic blight and adaptive re-use of historic structures.

• Dilapidated, abandoned, and overgrown areas create roadblocks to investment, closure of local businesses, and relocation of residents from Brunswick.

• Current historic preservation tax incentives focus on preservation, rather than restoration and rehabilitation for 21st century uses.

• Support funding for programs to address systemic poverty and homelessness.

  • Brunswick's goal is to move residents living in poverty to prosperity.
  • Brunswick seeks to increase the number of supportive programming for individuals in need that creates a cycle of self sufficiency and new community collaborations.
