Coastal Regional Commission

What Coastal Regional Commission does

The Coastal Regional Commission of Georgia (CRC) is a state-designated regional planning commission headquartered at 1181 Coastal Drive SW in Darien, Georgia. Founded in 1964 and operating with a 44-person staff, CRC coordinates and delivers shared governmental services to ten counties in coastal Georgia: Bryan, Bulloch, Camden, Chatham, Effingham, Glynn, Liberty, Long, McIntosh, and Screven, along with the municipalities within them. Its role is to provide regional capacity that individual counties could not efficiently stand up on their own.

CRC operates five core service lines. Aging Services delivers support for seniors and individuals with disabilities. Transportation Services administers the federal Section 5310 Mobility program for elderly and disabled residents across DHS Region 12 in partnership with the Georgia Department of Human Services. Planning & Government Services runs comprehensive planning, zoning reform support, and the Developments of Regional Impact (DRI) review process with up to 40-day state review periods. GIS Services provides geospatial data management, FEMA flood risk mapping, 911 address management, Lidar and elevation data, tax parcel management, and hazard mitigation mapping. IT Services operates both internal infrastructure support and an external line of Microsoft 365 integration, enterprise integration, web hosting, and website development for local governments. Underlying technology is built around Esri-style GIS platforms, geospatial and Lidar data assets, Microsoft 365, and a Squarespace-hosted public web presence.

CRC is funded almost entirely through government program funding, federal grants, and state-administered appropriations such as the Section 5310 program; it does not operate a commercial revenue model and pricing is set through government procurement rather than market-based pricing. The entity is jointly governed by its member counties rather than owned by a parent organization, and it does not pursue equity funding rounds, M&A, or commercial partnerships. Its growth is therefore tied to the scope of regional government programs, federal funding allocations, and the addition of member counties rather than market expansion.
