Four for the Future

The University of Georgia Public Service and Outreach and Georgia Trend magazine have recognized four communities that have worked across public-private sectors and nonprofit boundaries on initiatives to improve  their community and the quality of life for their citizens. ‪Blairsville-Union County was one of those communities recognized for their re-branding process and received one of the Four for the Future awards.

The City of Blairsville, Union County, Blairsville-Union County Chamber of Commerce, and the Union County Development Authority graciously accepted the award last Monday at a UGA Public Service and Outreach ceremony at the UGA Conference Center and Hotel.
