Dory Ingram, IPJI Atlanta Metro Coordinator, presents An Unsolved Mystery of the Jekyll Island State Park Authority. Dory examines the Bleakly Advisory Group's Analysis of Development Impact on Jekyll Island with emphasis on Bleakly's study of the projected density of Jekyll Island when the island has been "built out."
Area outlined in red is marshland which is west of Jekyll Island and Jekyll River. The US Census Bureau includes this marsh area and the Jekyll Island Causeway to Route 17 as the Census Bureau "block zone" for Jekyll Island. In using the US Census Bureau data to determine acreage, the Bleakly Advisory Group counted these 5,000 acres of marshland as part of  Jekyll Island when  projecting density of Jekyll Island when the island has been "built out."
