The new NWGA CIL lobby is officially starting to take shape!
Right now it may look like drywall, buckets, and construction dust… but we already see a welcoming space full of advocacy, independence, laughter, coffee, guide dogs, and people helping people every single day. 💚

Progress is happening!
Can’t wait to show everyone the finished result. 👏

As Executive Director of NWGA CIL, this move is about so much more than a new address. It represents growth, opportunity, and our continued commitment to serving people with disabilities across Northwest Georgia with dignity, independence, and heart.

While we may be changing spaces, our mission remains exactly the same — empowering choice, promoting independence, and creating access for all.

I’m incredibly proud of our Board, staff, consumers, and community partners who continue to support the work we do every single day in countless ways. This next chapter gives us room to grow, dream bigger, and continue building a more inclusive community together.

Thank you for believing in NWGA CIL and walking alongside us on this journey. The move will take place between July 1st and August 1st as construction crews complete the build out. We cannot wait to welcome everyone into our new home at 800 Broad Street, Unit 210! -Christina Holtzclaw, Executive Director of NWGA CIL

New space. Bigger impact. Same mission. 💚💙
