Support Robins Air Force Base
According to the Georgia Department of Veterans Services, there are over 652,169 veterans living across the state of Georgia, and the state is projected to have the 5th largest number of veterans by 2030. Many of them live right here in Middle Georgia
With a $4.48 billion economic impact, Robins AFB is the economic driver of Houston County and the entire Middle Georgia region. We have a duty to ensure the base, its personnel, and its missions are supported at the state level. Without the base, livelihoods and our regional prosperity would dry up overnight.
It is imperative that our we support our war fighters, their families, and the civilians who work at Robins. I have been proud to work with the 21st Century Partnership, CGTC, our public schools, and the VECTR center to make sure our students are ready to work at Robins and that our separating service members are trained to enter the civilian workforce.
We created a committee under the licensing boards to determine if any current or former member of the militaryhas received military training that can fulfill the requirements necessary to receive a professional license.
Beginning in the 2027 tax year, the first $65,000 of a military member's retirement will be exempt from state income tax.
The Middle Georgia delegation is working tirelessly to link educational institutions to the base's missions so that our public school students, adult civilians, and veterans are well prepared for their professional careers. With the opening of the Regional STEM Academy, we will be on our way to helping Robins AFB, our hospital, and our other industries grow the workforce they need to thrive and keep our communities growing!
