Joint Development Authority of Jasper, Morgan, Newton & Walton Counties
The Joint Development Authority (JDA) of Jasper, Morgan, Newton & Walton Counties began as a concept in 1998 between Newton & Walton Counties. In 1999 the formation of the between the four counties was adopted by each county and the JDA became a reality.
The goal of the JDA was to create an industrial area to attract industry to the region. Specifically, the goal was to create a research park for bio-science industries.
In 2000 the JDA partnered with Technology Park of Atlanta (TPA) to develop a master plan for the area. Thus, Stanton Springs was created as a mixed-use development.
Today, the four county area is home to Shire-Baxalta and Georgia's BioScience Training Center.
