Welcome to the official website of the Screven County Chamber of Commerce. Our goal is to provide you with a glimpse of a wonderful place nestled between two rivers in southeast Georgia...a place we call home, Sylvania and Screven County!

Screven County is rich in heritage, historical sites, and it is a community that prides itself on civic minded citizens, efficient governmental bodies, an excellent public school system, a Christian school and an active Chamber of Commerce who all are willing to work together to achieve community goals. Our citizens who feel comfortable, safe, and proud to be part of a growing community treasure the quality of life in Screven County. It is a great place to live, raise children and work.

We are centrally located between Savannah and Augusta with the Savannah River bordering the eastern section of the county.
