City of Tybee Island, Georgia Master Plan
Community Agenda
• Conduct a study to determine what types of tourists/visitors would be the most
beneficial to the economy and character of the Island, and what types of
services/commercial businesses they desire.
• Develop a tourism marketing campaign that focuses on drawing families and other
identified types of tourists to the Island.
• Conduct a study/survey on impacts of short-term rentals on residential
neighborhoods.
• Investigate the need to provide services/facilities tailored to an older,retired
population.
3.2 Economic Development
Issues:
• It is difficult to draw/retain small businesses that rely on seasonal population.
• The off-season economy does not provide enough revenue to support small
businesses.
• The City needs to be more proactive with encouraging commercial redevelopment
projects in appropriate areas.
• The return on investment for redevelopment does not currently provide enough
incentive.
• High property values and property taxes are serious obstacles for drawing new
businesses and/or retaining existing businesses.
Opportunities:
• Expand visitor's center to a self contained building. Allow for hotel/bed and breakfast
establishments and activity bookings at the center.
• Develop economic development strategy that focuses on small business
retention/recruitment and identifying/acquiring redevelopment properties.
• Work with the Downtown Development Authority to improve the aesthetics of the
business district through a facade grant program.
• Ensure that businesses are being taxed according to their zoning category.
• Explore the potential to provide financial assistance to small businesses that are
affected by high property values.
• Provide incentives, such as marketing/advertising assistance,to retain existing
business and to encourage new businesses to locate on Tybee Island.
• Consider the creation of a City-sponsored small business incubation center to allow
for small business development and establishment.
• Seek participation from local business owners and developers to ensure their concerns
are addressed in this plan.
• Explore potential incentives for commercial redevelopment projects.
• Consider providing incentives/services for service workers (including affordable
housing locator, transportation, etc.)to encourage them to work on Tybee Island.
• Consider issues related to out-of-town vendors versus on-Island vendors.
