It was a tough weekend for Bainbridge’s favorite son (UGA football coach Kirby Smart) but it’s not all been bad news for the southwest Georgia city, which recently announced a $700 million expansion from Danimer Scientific, a biopolymer manufacturer based in Decatur County.

Its continued investment serves as a win for rural Georgia and another notch on the belt for the state’s economic development team.
