Summary

The city announced openings for the 10-week Dose of Douglasville Citizens Academy, which offers residents an inside look at city departments and operations; applications are available at douglasvillega.gov.

Emily Hardaway announced that the Dose of Douglasville Citizens Academy is accepting applications for its 10-week program that introduces participants to city departments and how municipal government operates. She said the academy is popular, runs roughly twice a year, and applications typically fill quickly; interested residents can apply via douglasvillega.gov.

Dana Gray noted that his department often fields practical questions during the academy—about permits, fences and sheds—and that sessions provide step-by-step guidance for residents on permit requirements. "We have a good time presenting to that class," Gray said, encouraging residents to apply if they want to learn how city government works from the 'back end.'
