Relocating your business is a big decision. The Strike Team’s Department experts are well-versed in the Permit process, which gives you the opportunity to gather all the information you need before you begin your project.

If your Augusta-based business is thriving, you may need to expand, improve your current building, or build on vacant land. The Strike Team will partner with you at the start of your project to give you the answers you need to plan for your business’ future.

How To Get Started With AEDA’s Strike Team

If your business is expanding or relocating to Augusta, contact the Economic Development Team and provide information on your project and goals. During your initial conversation, an Economic Development Team member will recommend a meeting with the Strike Team to verify your requirements and review your plans as you begin the Permit process.
