Larry Miller recently announced that Colonel, U.S. Army (Retired) Thom E. Tuckey,  former Fort Gordon Garrison Commander, has graciously agreed to serve as the keynote speaker for the CSRA Home Connections Networking Breakfast and Success Seminar at Be My Guest Catering & Events in Evans on the morning of August 13th.  “We are indeed both fortunate and honored to welcome a leader of Thom's knowledge, experience, and expertise to address our Preferred Providers, agents, and staff,” reports Mr. Miller, the CEO of CSRA HOME CONNECTIONS and CENTURY 21 Larry Miller Realty owner/broker. Mr. Tuckey currently serves as the Executive Director for the CSRA Alliance for Fort Gordon, an organization which serves as a liaison between the CSRA community and Fort Gordon

“It makes a difference in communities when you have organizations like the CSRA HOME CONNECTIONS Program, whose people contribute so much in so many ways to serve others.  Their leadership in Operation Hand-Warmer and support of the Easter Seals 'Ornament of Hope' campaign and other fund-raising partnerships with United Way of the CSRA, Golden Harvest Food Bank and Goodwill Industries,  are 

simply wonderful examples of commitment to the community,” said Thom Tuckey.  “And I'm looking forward to spending some quality time with old friends and meeting some new ones on Wednesday morning, August 13th." Mr. Tuckey plans to share some Fort Gordon history, personal recollections of his time on post, and good news about the economic and social impact of Fort Gordon's tremendous growth, already in progress, on the entire area.

Fort Gordon, GRU, and Plant Vogtle All Expanding Simultaneously

Economic development authorities in the core counties of the Central Savannah River Area----Richmond, Columbia, McDuffie, and Burke in Georgia and Aiken County in South Carolina---are unabashedly excited about the huge, exponential growth driven by major expansions at Fort Gordon (NSA and Cyber Command), the construction of two new nuclear reactors at Plant Vogtle (Georgia Power), and significant growth and expansion of Georgia Regents University, including its world-renowned medical college. Over the next few years, this "perfect storm" is projected to bring population hyper growth, an expanded tax base, and an influx of consumer dollars never before experienced in the area.
