In 2004, the Southwest Georgia Project applied to the National Trust for Historic Preservation to conduct a workshop designed to create SRBWI’s Cultural Heritage Corridor. The Corridor will create economic opportunities by preserving, interpreting and promoting local history, culture and events throughout SRBWI’s 77 targeted counties – 42 in Georgia, 18 in Alabama, and 17 in Mississippi.
