Congratulations to Albany Technical College on having its Cybersecurity Associate Degree Program ranked No. 2 in Georgia for 2026 by Programs.com.

A strong cybersecurity workforce is critical to supporting one of Albany-Dougherty County's target industries: defense. As home to Marine Corps Logistics Base Albany and a growing network of defense-related employers, developing skilled talent in cybersecurity helps strengthen our region's competitiveness and supports the future needs of industry.

We're proud to have educational partners like Albany Tech helping prepare the next generation of technology and security professionals right here in Southwest Georgia.

Helping businesses grow doesn't stop once they're open—it means providing the resources, connections, and education they need to thrive.

Recently, our own Kirsten Hayes partnered with the Georgia Tech Food and Beverage Accelerator and the Georgia Grown Resource Center to host *Accelerating Your Food Business*, bringing together food entrepreneurs from across Southwest Georgia for a day of learning, collaboration, and growth.

From scaling operations to accessing valuable business resources, participants gained practical insights to help take their businesses to the next level.

Thank you to our partners at Georgia Tech Food and Beverage Accelerator, the Georgia Grown Resource Center, and the Albany Welcome Center for helping make this event possible.

We're excited to continue supporting the entrepreneurs, innovators, and small businesses that help drive our regional economy forward. 🌱

This week, our team had the opportunity to participate in the Albany Area Chamber of Commerce Go See Tour at Georgia Southwestern State University.

The Albany Area Chamber’s Go See Tour is an interactive, behind-the-scenes program designed to highlight local education, business, and workforce initiatives across our region. During the visit, we learned more about how GSW is preparing students for success while supporting the evolving workforce needs of Southwest Georgia.

Programs like this play an important role in strengthening community connections, encouraging engagement, and building the talent pipeline that supports long-term economic growth.
