Armed with a report weighing in at nine pounds and 130 pages, Effingham County tourism promoters were heartened to hear what a state team had to say about the county’s potential. The Effingham County Tourism Resource Team, which toured the county in November, presented its report Thursday to a nearly full house at the county administrative complex. The team, comprised of members of the state Department of Economic Development, the Department of Natural Resources’ Historic Preservation Division and the Department of Community Affairs and private enterprise associates, was glowing in its outlook for Effingham’s tourism future.
