Fort Gordon is the CSRA’s largest employer and a cornerstone of the regional economy. The installation supports a population of more than 33,000 active-duty service members and civilian employees and generates an annual economic impact exceeding $7.5 billion. When military retirees and their family members are included, the total population supported by Fort Gordon rises to over 114,000 people. If Fort Gordon were incorporated as a city, this population would rank it as the sixth-largest city in the state of Georgia, underscoring its outsized economic and demographic significance”.
