A recent Georgia Tech study indicates that Coastal Georgia will need 41,000 new housing units by 2030, driven by rapid population growth and economic expansion, including the Hyundai Metaplant. Bryan County alone is projected to see a 40% increase in housing units, bringing thousands of new families to our community. Planning for this growth now is essential to maintaining top-tier education while keeping fiscal responsibility in mind. Bryan County Schools is currently ranked 6th in the state out of 181 districts, and we are committed to preserving this high level of achievement for our students as we grow.
