MOULTRIE, Ga. â For the Moultrie Colquitt County Development Authority (MCCDA), 2020 marked a time for gathering insight and making plans for the future growth of Colquitt County. Eight community growth initiatives highlighted needs on topics ranging from workforce development and transportation, to education and branding.

Major findings of the survey demonstrated a desire for more retail and dining establishments, as well as a need for more rental housing options. Survey
