In the heart of South Georgia, the Thomasville Community Development Corporation (TCDC) is planting the seeds of community resilience. With deep community roots and an eye toward climate justice, TCDC is doing more than just improving housing or access to local produce—they're restoring a neighborhood's spirit.

Supported by a 2025-2026 Drawdown Georgia Climate Solutions & Equity Grant, TCDC is making bold moves in Dewey City, an underinvested neighborhood rich with history and untapped potential.
