Athens-Clarke County Extension will open to the general public in its new building at 275 Cleveland Road, Bogart, GA 30622 as of Tuesday, September 10 under its normal operating hours.

The public is invited to attend a dedication ceremony at the new building on Monday, September 9 at 3:30 p.m. prior to its public opening.

The construction of the new building is part of the SPLOST 2011 program approved by Athens-Clarke County voters on November 2, 2010.

It is a cooperative venture between the Athens-Clarke County Unified Government and the University of Georgia that provides education and information for all citizens of Athens-Clarke County in the areas of agriculture, horticulture, the environment, families, food and nutrition, and financial security.
