Hey families,

What would make Greene County a better place to live?

• More (good-paying) jobs?
• More opportunities for young people?
• Stronger local businesses?
• Better parks and recreation options?
• Affordable housing?
• Better healthcare?
• A stronger sense of community?

Please plan on joining in on at least one of these upcoming listening sessions to make sure that your voice is heard through the Greene County Archway Partnership!

We know sometimes you might wonder whether your opinion really matters, but that is EXACTLY why this is so important! We need you (and your cousins too)! Whether you've lived here your whole life or just moved to Greene County, your perspective is valuable.

Start by taking the community survey, then join us at one of the upcoming listening sessions. The survey and these conversations will help identify the priorities that local leaders, community partners, and the Greene County Archway Partnership (in collaboration with the University of Georgia Archway Partnership) will work on together over the coming years.

Take the survey here:

We will see you at a session (August 13th, 17th, 19th, or 20th)!

Let’s do this!
