The IDA has the authority to issue Industrial Revenue Bonds and to be a conduit for bond financing. The IDA was established by Georgia Legislation in 1974.

The IDA meets on the first Thursday of each month at 3:30 p.m. at the Habersham County Medical Center, West Wing Board Room. There are some called meetings during the year.

Training

Board members are required to complete at least eight hours of training on development and redevelopment programs within the first 12 months of their appointment to such authority.

Term: 6 years, staggered.
