Georgia Bank Approved – Hart Mitigation Bank

Posted on by JoAnn Hill

Bulloch County is growing at a faster rate than other counties in the coastal Georgia region, and faster than the state of Georgia as a whole.

The projected population of Bulloch County is anticipated to be between 105,000 and 135,000 people by 2045.

The anticipated future development in Bulloch County makes the successful operation of HMB ever more important to preserve the unique combination of ecosystems it contains, as well as to enhance degraded systems in an area with substantial ecological uplift potential.

Historical and existing wetlands at the HMB would be considered riverine, wet pine flats, and forested slope wetlands, according to the HGM classification system.
