Thomson. That town is growing somewhat, and has the advantage of being a major highway crossroads, with I-20 heading to Atlanta, and the exit to US 78, heading to Athens. That town will grow out in about 20 years and have maybe 12-13,000.

Thomson, definately. Look at the commercial and industrial zones of Thomson compared to the rest of them. Edgefield is definately a very close second.

The population of Grovetown, reported by the State is 6000

Hephzibah, I think will grow the fastest. The other towns don't have as many upper middle class subdvisions being built.

The census list Grovetown population as 9,224 in 2008

You guys are sleeping on Grovetown. The Lewsiston rd area near I-20 is prime for growth.

Grovetown or Hephzibah. Waynesboro, Edgefield, and Thompson are just too far away from Augusta right now to be suburban. They may grow in their own right, but they are not connected to Augusta by a constant line of development.

I keep hearing how Target is coming to southside. Hephzibah-Mcbean area or in South richmond near Hephzibah. I think South Augusta, Hephzibah, Blythe, Mcbean, Gracewood, and Burke county would grow faster. If a target would locate there, it would spur development.
