In 2014, the ACCG Board of Managers approved the relocation of the downtown Fulton County office and the GEBCorp Cobb County office to the One Ninety-One Peachtree Tower at 191 Peachtree Street NE, Atlanta, Ga., 30303. The office move will allow ACCG, as a whole, to consolidate its operations, improve office efficiency, and, ultimately provide better service to its membership – reducing the organization’s footprint by more than 6,000-square-feet with the close of one office location.

ACCG asks that all counties and partners in local government make note of the association’s new address to ensure that ACCG is in receipt of all correspondence from them. All ACCG staff telephone numbers and email addresses will remain the same.
