WELCOME

TO THE CYBER DISTRICT

The Fort Gordon Cyber District represents a two-state, seven-county regional economic development and
attraction initiative that supports both the defense and private sector technology, innovation, and growth.
Centered around the U.S. Army’s new national cyber headquarters at Fort Gordon, the region is booming with
opportunity for technological and economic expansion. The greater Augusta area is following suit and is rapidly
ramping up computer science education initiatives and revitalizing the local community to accommodate for all of
the excitement that is taking place in this friendly Southern region.

THE ALLIANCE
FOR FORT GORDON

The Alliance for Fort Gordon will play a vital role in helping defend the future of this military installation that
is so critically important to the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA). Regional business leaders and elected
officials came together on February 14, 2003 to form the Alliance, which will build on the strong bond that
already exists between Fort Gordon and the communities surrounding it.

The primary purpose of the Alliance is to demonstrate the potential for Fort Gordon to grow existing missions
and take on new missions. Additionally, the Alliance promotes economic development through partnerships
capitalizing on the information technology, communications and medical expertise prominent at Fort Gordon.
