Revitalization For Everyone

Today the State of Georgia and the Jekyll Island Authority recognize that this opportunity to escape and recharge can be made available to the people of Georgia and the same characteristics that attracted the early industrialists to the island can be enjoyed by all. Every aspect of revitalization is scrutinized by the Jekyll Island Authority and its Board of Directors to make sure that each development site keeps to our guidelines and ordinances.

Jekyll Island Design Guidelines

The Design Guidelines, developed for the Jekyll Island Authority by Cooper Carry - The Center for Connective Architecture, were adopted at the October 20th meeting of the Jekyll Island Authority Board. While the guidelines have already been in practical use they will now officially dictate the architectural design, height, scale and density of all new construction on the island.
