Two more hurricane town halls planned

Hurricane Helene Recovery Town Hall Meetings are scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday this week.

Date: December 18, 2024

Mayor Garnett L. Johnson, area elected officials, Administrator Tameka Allen and the Augusta-Richmond County Government will host Hurricane Helene Recovery Town Hall meetings Tuesday and Wednesday.

The town halls will be livestreamed and residents unable to attend in person are encouraged to submit questions in advance via email at mayorforms@augustaga.gov. 

The events are from 6-7:30 p.m. at the following locations:

  • Tuesday: The Robert Howard Community Center at Diamond Lakes Regional Park, 103 Diamond Lakes Way
  • Wednesday: The Linda Beazley Room at Augusta Municipal Building, 535 Telfair St. (This will follow a 5 p.m. reception for outgoing commissioners)
