Happy New Year!

January 2, 2025

Hello 2025 – a year in which we hope to see the TARCOG region continue to thrive!

This time last year, I was thinking about the “epic” year I saw ahead for TARCOG in 2024. When I was looking over the accomplishments of this past year, that idea was right on target. I wanted to mention all of the highlights, but there’s just too many.

I will say we ended the year on a high note with our first ever TARCOG Invitational Career Fair. As a result, we will be starting 2025 with four new employees! We are excited to welcome them to our team, which we feel has been strengthened throughout the past year. Part of this progress is due to our new Human Resources Manager Melonie Gurley, who completed our exceptional executive team in September.

We are also starting the new year with a high level of anticipation for things to come. We are looking to begin construction on our new office building on Corporate Drive in the MidCity District – right down the street from our former building. We will remain in our temporary space at 7037 Old Madison Pike, Suite 450, until construction is completed.

A groundbreaking announcement is forthcoming. Construction is estimated to take about 13 months.

We are also excited about continuing and even expanding upon our high level of care through our Area Agency on Agency programs, as well as securing grant funding and other economic development and planning opportunities for the deserving residents of our region.

Everything that we do is because of our commitment to our member governments and the care we have for our aging and disabled clients, and none of the work we do could be done without the support we receive from our board of directors. When every piece of our organization is aligned, the result is one of the best team’s around and our entire region benefits from it!

Thank you for your continued support. Here’s to 2025!
