Athens, Macon File Plans
Two Georgia communities,
Athens and Macon, have sub
mitted applications for $1,044,
961 in federal funds for con
struction of community mental
health centers to provide com
prehensive mental health care
to citizens of 15 north and cen
tral Georgia counties. Total
cost of the proposed facilities
is $2,089,923 to be shared
equally between the federal go
vernment and the communities
themselves.
Announcement Os the approval
of the two construction appli
cations — and their transmis
sion to the U.S. Public Health
Service — was made today by
Dr. John H. Venable, Director
of the Georgia Department of
Public Health, who said that
the Athens and Macon pro
posals were the first submitt
ed by any Georgia community
under the federal construction
plan. The Health Department’s
Community Services Branch Is
the approving agency in Geor
gia for local mental health con
struction utilizing federal
funds. No state dollars are
currently available to match
the federal funds, and local
financing was necessary to pre
vent the $903,615 allocated to
Georgia from reverting to the
federal treasury on June 30,
Dr. Venable said.
it’s probably better to build than
to buy. It’s easier to suit a home
to you than you to the home.
