Megasite in Bryan Co GA: Global Industry in Georgia Enabled Through Grants

• Beginning in 2021, Paro began working with Bryan County GA to secure grant funding during the design phase of the Bryan County Megasite. Coordinating with County Commissioners and administrators, Thomas & Hutton, the Regional Commission, The Beatty Team, and several surrounding Counties, Paro was able to design a grant package to help fund the project.

• Regional coordination among multiple County governments resulted in Paro securing more than $80MM in grant funding to support the overall financial requirements of this initiative.
• Paro continues to work with local municipalities in the region to address the impact of the megasite on expected population increases with associated concerns regarding infrastructure needs, housing capacity, water and sewer provisions, school system structuring, and other such matters.

• Lagging revenues could not support rapid cost increases in satisfying tourism deman, which created a crushing financial burden for most Georgia hotels.
• Paro worked with a leadership group of Georgia hotels and Governor Kemp's Office of Planning and Budget to design a program to address key issues that would restore Georgia hotels to full capacity, ultimately securing $150MM in funding for Georgia's tourism industry.  
• Key considerations included regulatory and compliance concerns associated with 2 CFR requirements, the recipients' liabilities, distributing and managing the funds properly, and confirming funds were applied for allowable use cases.
