Organization/Government

The Camden County Joint Development Authority (“Authority”) is a public authority established in 1981 by state and local statute, empowered with unique tools to promote business, industry, and agriculture within the County. The Authority is governed by a nine-member Board of Directors comprised of three County representatives, and two representatives from each of the three Cities (Kingsland, St. Marys, and Woodbine).
