Blakely and Early County Georgia for years enjoyed a postcard type of beauty - a small, prosperous agricultural based town with a thriving infrastructure of good schools, efficient government, successful businesses and a friendly community. Cotton and peanuts were the primary crops and the area experienced growth and prosperity for years. But changes in the national economy have had a negative economic impact here and in many other rural towns and counties. Recognizing this the Charles and Catherine B. Rice Foundation created Early County 2055, a gift to Blakely and Early County that will fund the first step in a long-term revitalization effort to protect the area's history and culture and establish the beginning of a prosperous economic future. |

| The goal of this project is to support community efforts to preserve the area's natural resources while developing a long-term growth strategy that will ultimately result in a diversified economic structure and master strategy for the future. |
