Propelling Business

At the Savannah Economic Development Authority, our mission doesn’t get any clearer: to help create, grow and attract new job opportunities and investment in the Savannah region.

Whether a business is looking to relocate to the Savannah region or an existing business is ready to grow and expand, SEDA is the centrifuge of a propeller, making the connections, helping propel the business to success.

Specifically, through business attraction, business retention and additional SEDA initiatives, SEDA offers customized services to help make it happen, connecting you to the resources needed including workforce training programs, infrastructure, available properties, incentives, tax abatements, utilities, permitting and more.

An independently funded organization, SEDA acts in the best interest of both the client and the community without the hindrances often associated with publicly funded operations.

Contact us today and find out how SEDA can help you and what Savannah can do to propel your business.
