COMMUNITY<br />
AS THE 28TH FASTEST GROWING<br />
COUNTY IN THE UNITED STATES,<br />
Columbia County is constantly on<br />
the move, and the Columbia County<br />
Chamber of Commerce is keeping right<br />
on pace. The Chamber was established<br />
in 2005 and serves over 1,000<br />
members in the Greater Augusta area.<br />
Over the past year we have become<br />
one of the fastest growing Chambers<br />
in the country.<br />
With significant growth also comes<br />
the need to accommodate that growth;<br />
whether it’s new housing, new schools<br />
or new roads. The Chamber works<br />
closely with local governments to keep<br />
our members informed and engaged in<br />
our ever-growing community.<br />
A few of the on-going projects<br />
currently in our area are:<br />
EXPANSION OF RIVERWATCH<br />
PARKWAY from Baston Road to the<br />
heart of Evans;<br />
FOUR LANE WIDENING OF FURY’S<br />
FERRY ROAD to the South Carolina<br />
state line;<br />
FOUR LANE WIDENING OF<br />
LEWISTON ROAD AND HORIZON<br />
SOUTH PARKWAY; and expansion of<br />
Robinson Ave and Wrightsboro Road<br />
in Grovetown;<br />
WIDENING OF FLOWING WELLS<br />
ROAD in Martinez.<br />
