Georgia Municipal Association (GMA) sponsors Georgia Cities Week each year, typically in April. This year will be the 25th anniversary of the event.
According to GMA, this is an opportunity for cities to celebrate community achievements and recognize volunteers and city employees. It is an opportunity to share information about services cities provide residents. That includes a look into city operations and how it positively impacts residents’ quality of life.
It also gives the city an opportunity to highlight community projects and infrastructure enhancements. With the events scheduled throughout the week, it will give residents of Demorest an opportunity to connect with one another as well as the city’s elected officials, management, and staff.
