The department focuses on building tourism, strengthening community engagement and activity, and enhancing the lives of citizens. 

The goals of the Economic Development and Events Department are to promote strategic development within the City, build Fort Oglethorpe as a place to live, work, play, stay, and discover, strengthen community engagement and activities, and enhance the lives of the citizens we serve. 

If you or your organization is interested in holding an event in the City limits please reach out to Taylor Hutwagner at 423-362-3117 or submit a completed Special Event Permit to  thutwagner@fortoglethorpega.gov which can be found at the link below. 

In 2021, the City of Fort Oglethorpe in partnership with the Carl Vinson Institute of Government and the Lyndhurst Foundation created the Renaissance Strategic Vision and Plan (RSVP). While addressing the top issues raised by community members in step one of the RSVP, the downtown master plan was produced to help guide local leaders and inform future design concepts prepared for the community.

Awards

The City of Fort Oglethorpe and Stable 41 Farmers Market were selected and awarded a Farmers Market Promotion Program (FMPP) Grant through the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in 2022. This is a three-year award that will assist in funding our Stable 41 Farmers Market located in the historic district of Fort Oglethorpe at 214 First Street.

Stable 41 Farmers Market was accepted into the Wholesome Wave Georgia’s Fresh for Less program, which allows the market to match SNAP shoppers’ purchases dollar-for-dollar on fresh, locally grown food.

During the summer of 2023, the Stable 41 Farmers Market received the AgGeorgia Farmers Market Grant which will be used to continue the promotion of the market. Thank you AgGeorgia Farm Credit for selecting Stable 41!
