Work is moving forward on the new freestanding emergency department for Chattooga County. Last Friday, Atrium Health Floyd held a hiring event for the new emergency department at the Chattooga County Civic Center. Atrium Health Floyd says that there will be around 200 new jobs at the emergency department which is being constructed near Walmart in Trion. A week from tomorrow, on Tuesday, February 28th, the Chattooga County Land Development Commission is expected to give the final approval for the emergency department at a meeting at the Chattooga County Civic Center at 6 PM. The meeting is open to the public and there will be a Zoom link to attend the meeting virtually. A link for that Zoom meeting will be posted on the county government’s website.
