Donate Hand-Warmers for our front-line troops in Afghanistan

“Operation Hand-Warmer” is a drive to collect hand-warmers for our front-line troops in Afghanistan, a rugged country which traditionally experiences bitterly cold winters.

The drive is designed to supplement standard military issued clothing and supplies, specifically for those who have to do hand-related tasks requiring dexterity in combat zones.

Augusta ranks #2 of Most Recession-Proof Cities

Augusta, one of the most recession-proof cities

Augusta took the #2 spot on a list of the 21 areas of recession-proof metro areas put out by MetroMonitor, a quarterly report released by Brookings Institute’s Metropolitan Policy Program.

The report looks at indicators – such as employment, unemployment, output, home prices, and foreclosure rates – for the nation’s 100 largest metro areas through the first quarter of 2010, which ended in March.

Typically, living near a government center or state capital, which tend to have fewer job cuts and higher spending, pays off and helps the economy. Of the 15 metropolitan areas with the lowest unemployment rates, one is Washington, D.C. and nine are state capitals dominated by government.

Augusta on the other hand, depends more on our Medical and Military communities to keep the economy strong. What else do you believe helps to strengthen the economy in our area?

“I have long stated my firm belief that Augusta will become one of the most thriving mid-sized cities in the Southeast as we move into the 21st  century,” says Augusta Mayor Deke Copenhaver. “Our region’s strong economic base and affordable cost of living, coupled with our internationally known brand name, has placed the Augusta Metropolitan Area on an upward trajectory which is underscored through these recent rankings. During difficult economic times, our marketplace still represents a good investment for businesses and residents alike and these recognitions show that word of this is definitely beginning to spread.”
