Wayne County's Altamaha River and Leisure Service Authority received a Georgia Outdoor Stewardship Grant of nearly $3 million to develop the Altamaha River Conservation Center at Jaycee Landing, following a plan developed by the UGA Carl Vinson Institute of Government. The project includes a kayak launch, walking paths, parking, shoreline restoration, interpretive exhibits, and classrooms for environmental education—creating a hub for learning, stewardship, and community engagement.
