Savannah River Regional Diversification Initiative
The SRS Community Reuse Organization (SRSCRO) was established
by Congress in 1993 for the purpose of mitigating the impact
of downsizing of the Department of Energy's Savannah River
Site through support of regional adjustment planning and promotion
of area economic diversification. The overall mission is to
create an environment conducive to technology-based start-ups,
business expansion, and the attraction of new ventures to
the SRSCRO region. SRSCRO's region of responsibility covers
the five counties of Richmond and Columbia in Georgia, and
Aiken, Allendale, and Barnwell in South Carolina. SRSCRO serves
as the community interface organization for DOE-SR with respect
to DOE supported area economic development initiatives.
SRSCRO
has a community based Board of Directors which includes community
leaders from education, industry, business, banking, area
economic development organizations, and state and local governments.
The Board members are selected equally from the states of
Georgia and South Carolina.
SRSCRO
also serves as the DOE public/community interface for the
review of proposals for the use of excess DOE-SR equipment
to create local community jobs and/or enhance area economic
development opportunities. Proposals for use of excess DOE
equipment for area economic development are submitted through
SRSCRO for review and approval and further processing through
DOE.
