About Us

The Fayette County Development Authority (FCDA) is one of only two local agencies in Georgia to receive the prestigious ACCREDITED ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION designation by the International Economic Development Council.

The FCDA Board of Directors truly represents the entire unique flavor of Fayette County. Five of the Directors are appointed to at-large positions by the County Commission. The Fayetteville City Council and Tyrone Town Council each appoint one person, and the chairpersons of the Peachtree City Airport Authority and the Development Authority of Peachtree City round out our board.

FCDA receives its operating expenses from an annually reviewed line-item budget request from the Fayette County Government. Under the leadership of Randy Hayes the organization's greatest impact comes from services to Existing Industry, entrepreneurs and small business. The Board of Directors set policy, determine annual goals and serve as liaisons between the business community and local government. The volunteer board leverages their individual talents by networking and building consensus to facilitate an improved business climate, diversified economic base, and stable economy that benefits each resident, government and business in Fayette County.
