There is an afternoon meeting of the Northeast Georgia Regional Commission, a 12 o’clock session at the downtown Holiday Inn on Broad Street in Athens.

The Agency was created in 1963 to be a focal point for regional issues concerning local government and to be a resource for those governments in a variety of specialized areas. These include local government planning, economic development, grant preparation, administration, job training, and aging services.

The Northeast Georgia service area encompassed by NEGRC is 3,260 square miles with an estimated population of 584,008.
