Keynote Panel: The Housing Issue in Georgia's Counties

Thursday, October 12
9:30 a.m. – 10: 30 a.m.
North Georgia to South Georgia. Rural, urban, and suburban counties. It is not difficult to find a county in the state not dealing with issues related to housing. The inventory of affordable housing is desperately low, and counties are facing a multitude of challenges as they try to take steps to improve opportunities for their residents to secure affordable housing. Members of the panel, including representatives from the private sector and local government, will present their viewpoints on possible solutions to this widespread challenge.

Informative Hot Topic Sessions

Attend the hot topic session of your choice on Thursday afternoon. The sessions will feature a mix of topics recently identified as priorities by county officials, including mental health, Local Option Sales Tax (LOST) and Service Delivery Strategy (SDS) challenges, and property tax assessments.
