This summer, the Athens County Independent wants to hear from you, the people of Athens County. What’s going on in your neck of the woods? What’s missing from local news coverage? What information do you need — and what’s the best way to get it?
To get those answers, we’re holding a series of gatherings on Wednesdays around the county where you can add your voice to local news. All events are 5–7 p.m. unless noted otherwise.
