SRS Community Reuse Organization

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 SRSCRO is organized exclusively to provide leadership for promoting the common economic interests and benefits of the residents, businesses and industries and to stabilize the economy with balanced growth throughout the service area by assisting:

1. in obtaining maximum utilization of other physical and human resources at the Savannah River Site and other regional facilities and institutions through existing and new programs;
2. in expanding existing businesses and industries;
   
3. local economic development entities in recruiting new companies to locate in the service area, while protecting the existing quality of life in the service and neighboring areas through economic growth and creation of job opportunities; and
4. in regional efforts to diversify the economy and provide high quality job opportunities to all.

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.
