AGENCY   DEVELOPMENT HISTORY
Coastal Plain Area   EOA, inc. began as a Program Development Grant from the Office of Economic Opportunity, and was awarded to the Coastal Plain Area Planning and   Development Commission on January 14, 1965.  This grant enabled a program developer to begin the groundwork for the development of a community organization to serve the poor and elderly.  This work led to the incorporation of the Coastal Plain Area Economic Opportunity Authority, Inc. on April 8, 1966, under the laws of the State of Georgia, as a private non-profit corporation serving the ten counties of the coastal plain area of Georgia.  Effective April 1, 1966 the Agency superseded   the area planning and development commission as the office of economic opportunity grantee.
