Griffin celebrating Georgia Cities Week with variety of activities Apr. 21-27

GRIFFIN — The City of Griffin Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a proclamation naming Apr. 21-26 as “Georgia Cities Week: Imagine the Possible.” The vote came during their Apr.

8 meeting. Georgia Cities Week is sponsored by the Georgia Municipal Association (GMA) to showcase and celebrate cities and the many services they provide.
