Formerly Georgia Mountains Community Services, Avita is a public agency that was created by the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities. Avita opened up its new offices in Dawson County in February, and on Monday celebrated it's opening with a ribbon cutting and open house with the Dawson County Chamber of Commerce. There are two offices at the agency's new location on Lumpkin Campground Road next to the outlets.
