GAINESVILLE - Elected officials and community leaders will be attending the grand opening and dedication of the Hall County "E-House" on Monday, April 22 from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. at Elachee Nature Science Center.

The "E-House" was made possible through a grant awarded to Hall County Government, Hall County Schools, Lanier Technical College and Elachee Nature Science Center through the Appalachian Regional Commission.
Guided tours of the "E-House" will be provided under the sponsorship of EnviroShare, a collaborative environmental management partnership between local governments, businesses and non-profits.
