Proposed Tift County Will Mirror Southern Georgia Growth
The article argues for creating new Tift County from parts of Worth Irwin and Berrien to balance political power and address regional inequities. It cites population and wealth growth in southern Georgia, greater than northern counties, and argues Tift would save travel and court costs while stabilizing tax base. It notes Nashville’s old county seat distance and project’s broad support among Worth Irwin and Berrien residents, with Tifton as proposed county seat.
