ALBANY, GA --
Lieutenant Governor Casey Cagle paid Southwest Georgia a visit Friday afternoon by speaking to members of Emerge Albany.

Lt. Cagle took the podium during a luncheon at the Hilton Garden Inn and stressed the importance of growing technology and adapting to our evolving economy.

"I had the chance to talk about the 21st century economy and how things are changing so rapidly and really, the key to the future is going to be in workforce development.”

Cagle said we need to get away from the "one-size-fits-all" student model and start honing in on technical and vocational skills at an earlier age.
