The Northwest Georgia Regional Commission Area Agency on Aging (AAA) will hold a public hearing on February 25th, 2025, to discuss potential waiver requests for providing direct services within its 15-county service area, which includes Chattooga and surrounding counties.

The waivers are being considered for services for which no proposals were received from outside providers. The public hearing will take place on Tuesday, February 25th, 2025, at 10 AM at the Northwest Georgia Regional Commission headquarters, located at 1 Jackson Hill Dr., Rome, GA 30161. The AAA is seeking public input on the potential need for the agency to directly provide aging services due to a lack of external providers in specific areas. All interested parties are encouraged to attend the hearing and share their perspectives. Written comments will also be accepted and must be submitted no later than one week prior to the meeting, by tomorrow, Tuesday, February 18th, 2025.

Box 1798 Rome, GA 30162 Alternatively, comments can be submitted via email to lreeves@nwgrc.org.
